Partner in Prosperity

For more than 115 years, Tulsa Regional Chamber has served as an integral part of what makes the Tulsa area a great place to live, work and play. Representing 2,000 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.

For companies looking to build business, the Chamber offers engagement opportunities through 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, and 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 Small Business Awards. Organizations also can be part of 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 or Aerospace 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 also can 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 young professionals organization housed at the Chamber.

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.

The Association of Chamber of Commerce Executives has named Tulsa Regional Chamber the nation’s best chamber a record four times: in 2005, 2008, 2010 and again in 2020. The Chamber holds three prestigious accreditations: five-star accreditation (the highest possible honor) from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce; accredited economic development organization through the International Economic Development Council; and accredited destination marketing organization (Visit Tulsa) through Destinations International. The Chamber also houses the Tulsa Office of Film, Music, Arts and Culture, Oklahoma’s only accredited city film commission through the Association of Film Commissioners International.

The Chamber’s Small Business Awards recognize Tulsa-area companies for their resilience, innovation and dedication to the local community. The 2022 Small Business Award winners are: Small Business Person of the Year: Mike Bausch, Andolini’s Worldwide; Rising Star Award: Rose Tax Solutions; Entrepreneurial Success Award: Arrowhead Consulting; Family-Owned Small Business of the Year: Tedford Insurance; Manufacturer of the Year: OGI Process Equipment; Diverse Small Business Champion: NextGen Tax Services; Lifetime Achievement Award: Steve Turnbo, Schnake Turnbo Frank.
