Partner in Prosperity

The Tulsa Regional Chamber helps businesses of all shapes and sizes succeed.

For more than 115 years, the Tulsa Regional Chamber has served as an integral part of what makes the Tulsa area a great place to live, work and play. Representing 2,200 member organizations and more than 170,000 area workers, the Chamber is the primary driver of regional and individual prosperity in northeast Oklahoma. The Chamber develops and delivers a wide variety of programs and services designed to bolster and benefit Tulsa-area businesses of all shapes and sizes, from large corporations to small startups. The Association of Chamber of Commerce Executives (ACCE) has named the Tulsa Regional Chamber the nation’s best chamber a record four times: in 2005, 2008, 2010 and again in 2020. For companies looking to build business, the Chamber offers dedicated networking events hosted by the Tulsa Small Business Connection, northeast Oklahoma’s premier organization for companies with 50 or fewer employees. Small firms can gain valuable insights at education events such as Business Behind the Scenes. A listing in the Chamber’s online member directory can yield valuable business referrals. Organizations seeking access to resources can save on office supplies through a Chamber affinity program. Businesses can gain recognition through Chamber award programs, including the Top Inclusive Workplaces as recognized by Mosaic, the Chamber’s coalition of companies and nonprofit partners that celebrate diversity, champion equity and cultivate inclusion within the business community. Participation in the Chamber’s Manufacturers’ Council offers chances to gain insights and collaborate with industry peers. Companies can advocate for the region as part of topical task forces that develop the OneVoice Regional Legislative Agenda, northeast Oklahoma’s unified business-driven policy platform. Interested firms can also help develop a long-term regional vision with other civic and community leaders by attending the Chamber’s annual Intercity Visit to a peer city to hear best practices. Companies also can encourage young employees to make a difference in the community through TYPROS, the Chamber’s young professionals organization. Those looking to enhance regional economic prosperity can invest in Tulsa’s Future, the Chamber-led regional economic development partnership of public and private investors. There are also opportunities to support Chamber programs that impact quality of life, such as the Tulsa Office of Film, Music, Arts and Culture. More broadly, joining the Chamber’s Board of Advisors offers the chance to influence the organization’s strategic priorities, and, by extension, the future prosperity of the entire region.

River Spirit Casino Resort

River Spirit Casino Resort has come a long way since March 2009 when it first opened its doors with just a casino. Within seven years, River Spirit went through a massive multi-million dollar expansion, adding Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville Restaurant, a world-class hotel tower, meeting and convention space, a resort pool, luxury spa and a concert venue.

River Spirit Casino Resort continues to make an immense impact on the hospitality and entertainment culture of the greater Tulsa area. With a 27 story, 483-room luxury hotel, two casinos with more than 3,000 gaming machines, numerous poker tables and table games, Margaritaville Restaurant, Ruth’s Chris Steak House, a 2,500-plus seat showroom theater, 10 additional bars and restaurants, a state-of-the-art spa and salon, and a 30,000-square-foot convention and meeting center, River Spirit is able to meet the needs and wants of groups of all sizes. When the Muscogee Nation began to make plans for River Spirit Casino Resort, it was unanimously decided they needed to offer something for everyone in a luxury setting with the highest class of service. It can go without saying that through the Nation’s creative and strategic planning alongside the hard work and dedication of the casino staff, River Spirit Casino Resort has attained that vision and continues to deliver top-notch service, food, beverage and entertainment.

River Spirit has garnered a multitude of awards, including AAA’s Four Diamond award five years in a row, and Most Ubered Location in Tulsa in 2018.

When a city has a reliable source of entertainment, it adds an element of quality of life for its citizens. River Spirit Casino Resort provides this quality of life in numerous ways: a place to have family dinners or date nights, attend concerts, a night out with friends, staycations for locals, or a long weekend getaway for out-of-towners. The resort-style pool has created a summer bucket list item for many. The emotional and social satisfactions that entertainment industries can provide is a crucial component for social and emotional health and has a dramatic influence on society and culture. With all the offerings of River Spirit Casino Resort, it provides the perfect escape from the real world that brings relaxation, laughter and joy to all who visit.
