OKConnect returns in 2024 to elevate community engagement

The Greater Oklahoma City Chamber and Leadership OKC have announced they will be continuing the high-level orientation program OKConnect during the first half of 2024.

OKConnect is designed for community newcomers or business leaders with a new or expanded role with a focus on community awareness and involvement. The program helps company leaders discover how to get involved in the community. Participants gain behind-the-scenes insight into Oklahoma City, from its earliest beginnings to its current growth and success.

OKConnect includes four sessions, which are scheduled for: Jan. 31, Feb. 28, March 27 and April 24. Each session is from noon to 5 p.m.

The sessions provide an overview of Oklahoma City’s culture and business climate. Participants will:

• Learn about the founding of OKC, and the state and region’s political history. They will also receive an overview of OKC demographics and which factors have shaped our city.
• Hear how innovation, as well as public and private partnerships and investments, are making a difference in OKC’s educational outcomes.
• Hear about the city’s plan to sustain economic growth.
• Learn about all the exciting places to visit and things to do in Oklahoma City and the importance of getting connected.
