LETTER FROM THE CHAIR Even in the midst of a rapidly changing environment, the Chamber did some of our very best work in 2015 to create an ever more diversified base for our economy. The work of this organization is broad – and our accomplishments in a year that might otherwise be remembered for tough energy prices, are impressive. Three projects illustrate this better than most: • The continued expansion of Tinker Air Force Base with the new hangars for the KC46 project • Our partnership with the Brookings Institution, Project for Public Spaces and local partners in the innovation district • The creation of the Oklahoma County Criminal Justice Task Force All three of these efforts will have long-lasting impacts on our region. They each require an investment of time, money, and political capital. These complex and exacting projects could have, in the face of economic uncertainty, been pushed aside for another day – but that is not what we do in Oklahoma City. Many of our city’s greatest accomplishments have been achieved during times such as this. I call on you to affirm your commitment to our work and to be a part of the process. We must continue to protect our business climate at the capitol. We must continue our involvement and leadership to support the transformation of the Oklahoma City Public Schools. And our work on job recruitment, workforce development and quality of life is something we must focus on every day. Thank you for your commitment to Oklahoma City in 2015. I look forward to the work we will all do together in 2016. Sincerely, David Rainbolt, Chamber Chair CEO, BancFirst Corporation

ABOUT THE CHAMBER
Since 1889, the Chamber has worked to grow the Oklahoma City region.
AN OKLAHOMA CITY ADVOCATE SINCE 1889 The Greater Oklahoma City Chamber has been actively pursuing a bright future for Oklahoma City since our whirlwind founding in 1889. The Board of Trade – the predecessor of the Greater Oklahoma City Chamber – was formed to bring new industry to Oklahoma City and promote its growth. Since that time, the Chamber has been the driving force behind the growth of the region. At the city’s birth, the Chamber led the way in providing utilities to the community and extending the transportation options that made Oklahoma City the crossroads of the nation. The Chamber tirelessly worked to bring new industries to Oklahoma City, to speak on behalf of Oklahoma City businesses at the state Capitol and to improve this community’s quality of life. While the issues may have changed over the past 125 years, the Chamber’s mission to be the voice of business and the visionary organization of the region has remained the same.
2
GOALS: The Chamber seeks to increase Greater Oklahoma City’s ability to rapidly seize new and expanding economic opportunities by: • Creating a business climate and positive image that are strong foundations for economic development • Attracting new businesses, supporting the growth of existing businesses and fostering entrepreneurship • Enhancing the region’s attractiveness for visitors and events • Ensuring the region’s talent base for the future through improvements in education and attraction/ retention of talent • Providing value-added opportunities and benefits to our membership • Supporting community efforts that enhance opportunities and amenities for residents
MAJOR HIGHLIGHTS OF 2015 • More than 5,800 new Chamber-assisted primary jobs were announced in Greater Oklahoma City with an average salary of $48,442 and capital investment of more than $956 million. • The Chamber led a coalition of federal, state and local partners to help Tinker Air Force Base purchase 158 acres of land from BNSF, a move that will increase the security of the base and allow it to provide maintenance for the KC-46A Pegasus refueling aircraft. • The Chamber partnered with Brookings and the Project for Public Spaces to launch a study of the Oklahoma Health Center and Automobile Alley as part of the Bass Initiative on Innovation and Placemaking. The study will help increase innovation and growth in districts across Oklahoma City. • The Chamber partnered with four other community organizations to form a compact to support the continued improvement of Oklahoma City Public Schools. • The Chamber created an Oklahoma County Criminal Justice Task Force to evaluate Oklahoma County’s criminal justice system and make recommendations to reduce incarceration, increase efficiencies and improve safety. 3
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Tinker Air Force Base’s expansion was made possible through a joint effort of the U.S. Air Force, the City of Oklahoma City and Oklahoma County.
The primary goal of the Chamber is to support Greater Oklahoma City’s economy by attracting new businesses, supporting the growth of existing businesses and fostering Oklahoma City’s innovative entrepreneurial community. Throughout the year, the Chamber fortifies the economy by encouraging new industry and strengthening the existing business sectors in the community.
SUPPORTING OKLAHOMA’S LARGEST SINGLE-SITE EMPLOYER In February, the Chamber saw the successful conclusion of nearly three years of work as Tinker Air Force Base completed the purchase of 158 acres of land adjacent to the base from BNSF. The land purchase, which will be used to create a depot maintenance facility for the Air Force’s next-generation aerial refueling aircraft, was made possible through a joint effort of the U.S. Air Force ($8 million), the City of Oklahoma City ($23.5 million) and Oklahoma County ($12.5 million). The Greater Oklahoma City Chamber led a coalition of local and state government to support the acquisition. The first KC-46A is scheduled to arrive at Tinker in 2018. An estimated workforce of 350 people will be required for the construction of the maintenance facilities. The KC-46A campus will eventually support an estimated workforce of 1,321 maintenance personnel. 4
CREATING AN ENVIRONMENT OF INNOVATION The Chamber partnered with the Brookings Institution and Project for Public Spaces to begin an 18-month study of Oklahoma City’s emerging innovation district, an area encompassing the Oklahoma Health Center and Automobile Alley. This work, which will focus on the district’s economic strengths and quality of place, is part of the Bass Initiative on Innovation and Placemaking, a joint initiative the two organizations launched in November 2015. The study will examine the rising interplay between innovation, quality places and economic growth in Oklahoma City’s innovative district – an area north and east of downtown that includes Automobile Alley and the Oklahoma Health Center. The work aims to catalyze a new approach to city-building that integrates the reinforcing benefits of vibrant public spaces, innovative urban economies and inclusive growth. The Oklahoma City study is funded through a partnership of community organizations including the Greater Oklahoma City Chamber, the Presbyterian Health Foundation, the Oklahoma Health Center Foundation, the City of Oklahoma City and the Alliance for Economic Development of Oklahoma City. Additional community supporters include the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation and the University of Oklahoma.
SELLING OKLAHOMA CITY’S VALUE In March 2015, the Chamber joined forces with local partners to spotlight Oklahoma’s film, music and interactive industries under the Meet Oklahoma banner at the annual South by Southwest (SXSW) Trade Show and Conference in Austin, Texas. During the conference, the Chamber also hosted a Meet-Oklahoma branded reception at Ranch 616. The Chamber also partnered with OKBio, the state’s bioscience association, and other regional and community organizations to represent Oklahoma’s bioscience industry at the 2015 Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO) Convention in Philadelphia, Pa. The Oklahoma delegation participated in more than 170 meetings with potential business partners in the OKBio booth on the convention floor, giving delegates the opportunity to market Oklahoma City as a prime location for bioscience companies alongside their own companies. The delegation also hosted a reception attended by 400 business partners at the Ritz-Carlton. In October 2015, the Chamber shared Oklahoma City’s value for technology-based economic development professionals by hosting the State Science & Technology Institute (SSTI) 2015 Annual Conference. More than 260 attendees were introduced to Oklahoma City while exploring initiatives that support prosperity through science, technology, innovation and entrepreneurship.
GROWING THE REGION As part of its mission to increase the economic development of the region, the Chamber worked on more than 227 successful projects in 2015. The Chamber’s economic development efforts resulted in the announcement of more than 5,800 new Chamber-assisted jobs in the region with an average salary of $48,442 (23 percent higher than the area average). These jobs represent both new companies and existing businesses, with 221 existing companies adding more than 3,400 new jobs to the region. More than $956 million in capital investment was announced during 2015. 5
INNOVATION IN OKLAHOMA CITY: FORWARD OKLAHOMA CITY PROGRAM Oklahoma City’s companies, organizations and programs are defining innovation throughout the community. Read on for information on how innovation is improving the region.
When the Chamber’s first Forward Oklahoma City (FOKC) initiative launched in 1995, Oklahoma City had yet to experience the positive benefits of its first Metropolitan Area Projects (MAPS) vote. During that time, it was difficult for the Chamber to recruit new companies to the area. While MAPS projects improved Oklahoma City’s quality of life, FOKC was an innovative way to address other factors that would help position Oklahoma City for increased economic development, including improving the business climate through legislative reform and changing the perception of Oklahoma City through targeted image development campaigns.
6
Through four five-year cycles, this dynamic economic development effort has produced results far exceeding expectations, repositioning Oklahoma
City as one of the top locations for economic development activity in the country. Since FOKC was created, the Greater Oklahoma City area has: • Increased its labor force (ages 16 and older) by more than 20 percent; • Added 300,000 people to its population; • Grown its annual average wage by 90 percent (as of December 2014, the most recent date for which numbers are available); • Added more than 10,000 jobs to its goods-producing industries; • Added more than 100,000 jobs to the service-providing industries; and • Added more than $6 billion in capital investment to the area.
Beyond the numbers, the Chamber’s Forward Oklahoma City program funded major quality-of-life improvements throughout Oklahoma City, led the Big League City campaign to bring the NBA to Oklahoma City, campaigned for landmark Right-to-Work legislation, created a plan to strengthen the city’s bioscience cluster, led the effort to help Tinker Air Force Base acquire additional land from BNSF, launched the Greater Grads program to attract a young, talented workforce and accomplished much more.
Forward Oklahoma City IV: 2011-2015
When added to the Chamber’s robust business recruitment and expansion tactics, the 20 years of Forward Oklahoma City investments have led Oklahoma City to a new age of success. The Forward Oklahoma City program will continue its fifth installment of programming in 2016, and its priorities will continue to push the innovation and growth of Oklahoma City into the future.
Its major successes include strengthening the city’s aerospace industry, helping recruit major entities to Oklahoma City like GE Global Research’s Oil and Gas Technology Center and advocating for the comprehensive reform of the state’s workers’ compensation system.
The Chamber launched FOKC IV in 2011 in order to continue Oklahoma City’s growth and momentum. For five years the program focused on growing Oklahoma City’s companies and industries, maximizing Oklahoma City’s competitive advantages, marketing Oklahoma City to attract new companies and investment and seizing Oklahoma City’s opportunities. Since 2011, FOKC IV assisted with the creation of more than 26,600 jobs with more than $2.7 billion in capital investments.

ADVOCACY
The Chamber sets the stage for successful economic growth by promoting probusiness laws and policies at all levels of government. The Chamber actively engages in the legislative process by developing personal relationships with elected officials and advocating for the Chamber’s legislative priorities that will strengthen Oklahoma City’s economic climate. In 2015, the Chamber succeeded in achieving its legislative priorities during a tough budget year in which the state faced an unexpected $611 million shortfall, more than double the original projection.
SECURING ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT INCENTIVES The Chamber scored victories at the state Capitol by protecting several state economic and community development programs from being scaled back or repealed. The Chamber identified and successfully protected six economic development incentive programs critical to the Chamber’s ongoing economic and community development efforts, including the Quality Jobs Act (which includes 21st Century QJA and Small Employer QJA), the five-year ad valorem abatement and sales tax exemption on manufacturing facilities, the Investment/New Jobs Tax Credit, Historical Building Rehabilitation Tax Credit, Aerospace Engineering Tax Credit and Freeport (Inventory) Exemption. During the session, the Chamber also engaged to protect the tax credit for contributions to biomedical research and cancer institutes. These legislative victories achieved in a tough political and budgetary environment, will insure that important economic and community development programs will continue to serve the needs of businesses and communities throughout Oklahoma. 8
PROTECTING HIGH-ECONOMIC-IMPACT EVENTS During the final weeks of session, the Chamber led an effort to stop legislation that, if enacted, would have had a devastating impact on Oklahoma City’s ability to retain and attract high-economic-impact events. The legislation’s language would have prevented entities that use/lease “any property designated by a city, town, county or state governmental authority as a park or recreational area, or fairgrounds” from prohibiting guns from being carried at those locations. Because of this language, Oklahoma City was in danger of losing Big XII and NCAA sporting events, events at the Oklahoma State Fairgrounds, concerts, festivals and other events that contractually enforce a zerotolerance policy in prohibiting firearms at their events. The Chamber asked Gov. Fallin to veto this harmful legislation, which she did on May 11, 2015. The Chamber successfully fought efforts to override this veto throughout the final days of the session and proactively met with representatives from the National Rifle Association to discuss legislative language that would protect Oklahoma City’s events if a similar bill is introduced in the 2016 session.
SUPPORTING THE AMERICAN INDIAN CULTURAL CENTER The Chamber has been a long-time supporter of completing the American Indian Cultural Center and Museum (AICCM), a state project that sits at the intersection of two major interstate highways (Interstates 35 and 40). During the 2015 legislative session, the Chamber supported legislation that would fund and complete AICCM.
INCREASING ACCOUNTABILITY During the 2015 legislative session, the Chamber showed its support for increased transparency and accountability in how Oklahoma administers and evaluates its economic development incentive programs. The Chamber actively supported Oklahoma’s effort to partner with Pew Charitable Trusts to develop a data-driven model to evaluate the performance and effectiveness of the state’s economic development programs. The creation of the Pew Incentive Evaluation Model under HB 2182 ensures that each of the state’s economic development incentive programs will be reviewed for their effectiveness and cost to the taxpayer at least once every four years.
ENGAGING OUR AUDIENCE The Chamber launched a more aggressive grassroots effort in 2015 that will extend and enhance the Chamber’s ability to activate its members’ community and political connections. The Chamber surveyed 1,400 of its members to identify individuals who will effectively engage with federal, state and local government officials on priority Chamber issues.

INNOVATION IN OKLAHOMA CITY: AMENDING THE QUALITY JOBS ACT Oklahoma City’s companies, organizations and programs are defining innovation throughout the community. Read on for information on how innovation is improving the region.
10
The community’s longstanding partnership with the U.S. Air Force began when the Greater Oklahoma City Chamber raised the funds necessary in 1940 to acquire the land for an air depot that would later become Tinker. It continues today in ways that benefit the Air Force by strengthening its ability to serve the nation’s troops and that benefit Greater Oklahoma City by boosting its economy and bringing jobs to the area.
During negotiations, the price of the property was split between the federal government, Oklahoma County and the City of Oklahoma City. Oklahoma City ($23.5 million) and Oklahoma County ($12.5 million) were able to contribute to the transaction, with an agreement that the funds could be paid back by the Oklahoma Quality Jobs Program Act. For the city and county to access those funds, a state law needed to be changed.
Most recently, these strong ties were evident with the recent acquisition of 158 acres of land north of Tinker from Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF). The nearly three-year process culminated in February 2015 when the Chamber, the U.S. Air Force, the Oklahoma Industries Authority and city, county and state leaders closed the deal with BNSF. The road leading to that moment was paved with innovative problem solving and teamwork between the federal, state and local governments and private entities.
If the Air Force had used Quality Jobs bringing the 1,321 jobs to Tinker, the incentive would have been disbursed throughout the entire United States government and not to Tinker. The Air Force agreed to let the rebate come back to the city and county instead. Kathleen I. Ferguson, then the Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Installations, Environment and Energy, worked to get approval, as well as the labor statistics and other data that the city would need to seek the Quality
Jobs credits. It was up to the Oklahoma Legislature to amend state law and allow the state’s military institutions to benefit from the Quality Jobs Act. Oklahoma Rep. Earl Sears, R-Bartlesville, introduced House Bill 1416, co-authored by Sen. Mike Mazzei, R-Tulsa and others, to amend the state’s Quality Jobs Act to allow a public trust to receive the benefit by proxy of the incentives on behalf of a military installation. This bill gave greater flexibility for communities to use funds generated through the incentive for new job creation, land acquisition and infrastructure development.
Bruce Litchfield, Ret., former Air Force Sustainment Center Commander, said. “I would call it a ‘let’s get to yes’ kind of approach. There were a million reasons why it couldn’t be done, but no one focused on that. What people focused on was how it could be done.”
Because of the amended law, Tinker Air Force Base is now the maintenance home of the new KC-46A air refueling tanker. It also is expected to help insulate the base against future Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) commissions because it adds an important new mission to Tinker and resulted in efficiency savings – more than $500 million over the next 50 It passed the state House and Senate years – for the U.S. Air Force. The project in May 2014 with a unanimous vote in will bring at least 1,321 new jobs to the the Senate and nearly unanimous vote community with an average $62,000 in the House and paved the way for the Oklahoma Industries Authority to accept annual salary and $75 million annual the Quality Jobs funds that will ultimately payroll. be used to pay back both the county “The way I say it is that the KC-135 has and the city for their contributions to the been the bedrock for Tinker for the last BNSF transaction. In turn, Oklahoma City 50 years, and the KC-46 maintenance is and Oklahoma County will be able to use going to be the bedrock for the next 50 the returned funds for other economic years,” Litchfield said. development initiatives. “It was really an incredible confluence of activity to make this (happen),” Lt. Gen. 11
MEMBERSHIP
Throughout the year, the Chamber engages with its member companies and other organizations to pursue a bright future for Oklahoma City.
SUPPORTING THE CHAMBER’S GOALS The Chamber concluded its 22nd Total Resource Development Campaign (TRDC) with campaign volunteers raising $3,000,598 to support the work of the Chamber. TRDC co-chairs John Higginbotham, Bank of Oklahoma, and Michael Laird, Crowe & Dunlevy, led more than 150 active volunteers. During the campaign, volunteers connected Chamber members with membership, sponsorship and advertising opportunities that are available through the Chamber. Through the work of the volunteers, 154 local businesses became Chamber members. Through 22 annual campaigns, TRDC volunteers have raised more than $43 million to support a better future for Oklahoma City.
ENGAGING OUR MEMBERSHIP The Chamber evaluated its member engagement process and instituted more opportunities for members to participate with the Chamber’s work in the Oklahoma City region. To communicate those opportunities to new members, the Chamber redesigned its monthly member orientation. Senior-level Chamber staff members presented the Chamber’s efforts in economic development, advocacy and community development to more than 320 member orientation attendees during 2015.
12
CONTRIBUTING TO THE CHAMBER’S FUTURE Under the leadership of Ambassador Chair Stacy Eads and Rise & Shine Chair Melissa Barnett, the volunteer-led Rise and Shine program also has connected Chamber members with the volunteer and networking opportunities provided with their membership, including the Chamber Ambassador Program, the Grand Opening Committee and TRDC volunteer opportunities. Rise and Shine is held twice yearly, and in 2015 it reached more than 250 Chamber members who wanted to deepen their engagement with the work of the Chamber. The Chamber also reengaged its Membership Advisory Committee to provide strategic direction of the Chamber’s membership development. The group contributes both member-service insight and revenue-generating ideas.
INNOVATION IN OKLAHOMA CITY: OKLAHOMA COUNTY CRIMINAL JUSTICE TASK FORCE Oklahoma City’s companies, organizations and programs are defining innovation throughout the community. Read on for information on how innovation is improving the region.
In December 2015, Clayton I. Bennett, Dorchester Capital, vice chair of strategic planning for the Chamber, announced the creation of a task force to evaluate Oklahoma County’s criminal justice system and make recommendations to reduce incarceration, increase efficiencies and improve safety. The work of the task force is in preparation for future investments in the county’s jail and other related investments, but it will also holistically address the multifaceted issues of the criminal justice system, including stronger rehabilitation efforts, consistent sentencing and improvements in the judicial process. Efforts moving this issue forward will also focus on improving the treatment of mental illness. “We have transformed Oklahoma City over the last 20 years and enjoy a dynamic, growing city with a quality of life that is second to none,” Bennett said. “We have worked hard to diversify our economy and create a place where our children will want to stay and build their families and careers, but there is a part of our family which is hurting. One in three in Oklahoma suffers the effects of addiction or mental illness. This significant and startling statistic has led to enormous challenges and complexities within our criminal justice system and is a primary contributor to the increases in incarceration at the Oklahoma County Jail. It is time for the business community to focus on this issue as it has become too important to ignore.” The Chamber has contracted with the VERA Institute of Justice, an independent, nonpartisan social science think tank and consulting organization that has been working with local governments since 1961. They combine research, technical assistance and demonstration projects to help leaders in civil society improve the systems people rely on for justice and safety. VERA will complete an initial analysis and make recommendations for the next steps in the process. The task force will then consider those recommendations and develop an action plan for 2016 and beyond. 13
VISITORS
Oklahoma City’s appeal as a visitor destination continues to grow, and the Chamber’s convention and visitor development division, the Oklahoma City Convention & Visitors Bureau (CVB), works to recruit new events to the region while also supporting Oklahoma City’s long-standing events and attractions.
ADHERING TO A HIGHER STANDARD The Oklahoma City CVB received accreditation from the Destination Marketing Association International (DMAI) as part of its Destination Marketing Accreditation Program (DMAP). To become accredited, the Oklahoma City CVB successfully complied with 58 mandatory and 30 voluntary standards in areas that include governance, finance, human resources, sales, communications, destination development and research. By successfully receiving the DMAP seal, the Oklahoma City CVB illustrated its commitment to industry excellence as a destination marketing organization.
STRENGTHENING THE ECONOMY From July 2014 to June 2015, the Oklahoma City CVB provided registration or servicing to more than 270 groups, events, conventions and sports activities in Oklahoma City. Booked room nights for upcoming sports events and conventions totaled 372,088, and the hotel tax revenue during FY15 set a new record of $14.6 million in collections. 14
Oklahoma City continued to reign as the “Horse Show Capital of the World” with the Arabian & Half-Arabian Youth National Championship Horse Show announcing a multiyear contract in Oklahoma City. Business in convention sales proved to be just as strong, with Oklahoma City securing many upcoming conventions including LegalShield signing a multiyear contract to locate its annual conference in Oklahoma City. The convention and sports market produced 464,663 sales leads for room nights in Oklahoma City during FY15.
REACHING VISITORS VisitOKC.com, the Oklahoma City CVB’s website, was redesigned in 2015. The website features a responsive design that can be accessed on a desktop, tablet or smartphone, allowing visitors to access information on the go. The website also features an interactive map of Oklahoma City, which allows website viewers to see what Oklahoma City attractions are near their location and a redesigned events calendar. After the website launched, the Hospitality Sales and Marketing Association International (HSMAI) awarded VisitOKC. com with its Silver Adrian Award. The website, which was evaluated by its marketing objectives, creativity, quality, content and results, was chosen from one of more than 1,200 entrants judged by 200 industry experts. 15
INNOVATION IN OKLAHOMA CITY: OKLAHOMA CITY NATIONAL MEMORIAL AND MUSEUM Oklahoma City’s companies, organizations and programs are defining innovation throughout the community. Read on for information on how innovation is improving the region.
In 2015, Oklahoma City commemorated the 20th anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing, a domestic terrorist attack that killed 168 people in the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building. The Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum marked the occasion with a reopening of its facilities after a renovation that added 35 new interactive exhibits, hundreds of never-before-seen artifacts and thousands of video and oral histories. While the museum’s mission remains the same – to remember those who were killed, those who survived and those changed forever – the renovations of the museum expanded the way that message is communicated to the thousands of visitors to the museum each year.
16
“We have a serious responsibility to make sure the story is told in a way that will last for the next decade or so,” Kari Watkins, executive director of the museum, said. “One of the things we feel strongly about is making it relevant to a new generation of people who were not born in 1995 and a new group of the citizenry who did not live in Oklahoma City in 1995. Half of our population has moved here since, and not everyone has lived through it.”
The museum’s remodel and exhibit additions were the result of a $15 million capital campaign. New additions include the 15-foot Dreamland Motel sign, which came from the hotel Timothy McVeigh stayed in while planning the attack. The museum also focused on adding interactive exhibits in order to engage a new generation of people who are learning about the bombing for the first time. “We want people to be able to consume the information at whatever level they are able to confront the story,” Watkins said. The museum’s focus on educating a new generation was also evident when the museum launched its Uncover-Discover Learning Lab in December 2015. The lab integrates science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) concepts with the history of the Oklahoma City bombing in an interactive environment. The lab teaches the lessons learned from the bombing in two options: the study of structural engineering or the study of forensics. “We knew that Oklahoma City’s story met the educational standards of our schools, and we knew that students were intrigued by the forensics of the story,” Watkins said of the new exhibit. “The programming allows students the opportunity to engage with the material, which is how they prefer to learn.”
17
WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT
In order for Oklahoma City’s companies to be successful, they need an educated and qualified workforce. The Chamber works to prepare, recruit and retain a workforce that will help our companies succeed.
STRENGTHENING OKLAHOMA CITY’S FUTURE LEADERS In order to further the success of Oklahoma City’s students and ensure a qualified workforce for Oklahoma City’s businesses, the Chamber and four other community organizations formed a new partnership to support improvements of Oklahoma City Public Schools. The new collaboration, which is named the Oklahoma City Schools Compact, includes the Oklahoma City Public Schools, the City of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma City Public Schools Foundation, United Way of Central Oklahoma and the Greater Oklahoma City Chamber. The Compact’s mission is to create, stimulate, promote and drive community ownership of Oklahoma City Public Schools and its outcomes. The Compact is governed by a board that will oversee a group of special task forces. Each task force will guide the creation of programs and projects that will improve student performance and support programs that achieve the goals of the district. The Compact will operate as a collective impact model, which occurs as organizations from different sectors agree to solve specific community challenges under a common agenda. All of the Compact’s work will be transparent and tied to clearly-defined accountability goals.
18
KEEPING COLLEGE STUDENTS IN OKLAHOMA Through the Greater Grads program, the Chamber helps connect Oklahoma City’s businesses with the more than 125,000 college and university students in the region to ensure the growth of Oklahoma City’s workforce. By promoting the region’s great quality of life and vibrant culture, the Greater Grads program uses two essential tools to help make the decision-making process a little easier. InternOKC, the Chamber’s summer internship program for businesses, helps educate college students on the benefits of living and working in Oklahoma City along with some key lessons for making a successful transition from college to career. In 2015, the program had 465 participating interns from 73 companies. Participating interns represented 26 states and 69 different colleges and universities. The Chamber also hosted 466 students at its 2015 Greater Grads Career Fair. Nearly 100 employers met with potential employees and interns, with 85 percent of the companies saying they planned to interview one or more students that they met at the career fair. The Chamber also continued to connect employers and interns through GreaterGrads.com, a website providing internship listings and careerreadiness resources. During 2015, Greater Grads was represented at 17 career fairs in the state, and it also hosted an event at Texas Tech University with four partner companies. The event, which targeted engineering students, reached 55 students. When surveyed, 100 percent of respondents said that their perception of Oklahoma City was positively impacted by the event, and 82 percent said they would consider relocation to Oklahoma City if offered a career opportunity. 19
INNOVATION IN OKLAHOMA CITY: OKLAHOMA CITY PUBLIC SCHOOLS CAREER ACADEMIES Oklahoma City’s companies, organizations and programs are defining innovation throughout the community. Read on for information on how innovation is improving the region.
One common challenge for cities of the 21st century is the ability to produce, attract and retain a qualified workforce. In addition to the quality-of-life improvements that have allowed Oklahoma City to become one of the top cities for people to start their careers, the Oklahoma City Public School District is contributing to the future of its students by offering specialized career academies throughout the district. At Capitol Hill’s Academy of Engineering, it is not uncommon to see a group of students gathering outside to fly the remote-controlled drones they built in class the day before or designing items on a professional CAD program that are later produced on a 3D printer. As the students learn to apply engineering principles to real-world scenarios, the Academy is also introducing students to new ideas, skills and longterm goals that include college. In return, these students will enter the workforce better prepared to succeed in their chosen fields. Capitol Hill’s Academy of Engineering is one of nine academies throughout the Oklahoma City Public School District offering specialized learning for students in certain areas, including fine arts, finance, health sciences, hospitality and tourism, law and public safety and more. These academies are affiliated with the National Academy Foundation (NAF), which notes on its website that during the 2014-15 school year, nearly 82,000 students attended 667 NAF academies in 38 states, including Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands. And of those, NAF academies reported, 97 percent of seniors graduated from high school, and 93 percent of the graduates planned to go to college. 20
“We are a school within a school so we have a lot of pride in our program,” said Mike Jennings, career academy site manager at Capitol Hill, referring to the engineering academy. These academies help the students focus on certain fields, and they invite participation from local companies and individuals who can serve on advisory boards, donate equipment and other resources or offer internships for the students. Instructors and volunteers at several academies noted their students are motivated to learn, building confidence and setting goals; many are seeing increases in test scores among academy students. On another recent afternoon at Southeast High School, students in the Academy of Information Technology are filming a video featuring business leaders eager to support and promote the academy. After it’s over, SandRidge Energy volunteers lead a discussion about video production and reallife applications for the students’ interests. These academies “are full of students that want to achieve and want to find a place in this city and in the business community where they can accomplish their goals,” said Bank of America Merrill Lynch Market President Tony Shinn in the video. “The students in high schools in these career academies are some of the best and brightest, and we need to provide all the resources and support we can to help them achieve their goals.” In addition to the academies of engineering, fine arts and information technology, OKCPS offers academies of law and public safety, finance, health science, hospitality and tourism and teacher preparation at nine high schools throughout the district. A key component of the academies is its focus on providing real-world application through internships. In 2015, 59 high school juniors enrolled in the career academies interned with 25 different employers. In 2016, the district anticipates that more than 200 students will be eligible to participate in the intern program. The Chamber will work with the district leaders and the Career Academy advisory board to connect OKCPS career academy students with these critical internship opportunities.

The Chamber is Oklahoma City’s biggest champion and loudest cheerleader, and through its marketing efforts, the Chamber works to position Oklahoma City as the ideal place to live, work and play.
INCREASING RETAIL OPTIONS Retail target areas across Oklahoma City experienced success in 2015, and the Chamber continued to recruit destination retailers and to support existing relationships with retailers. The Chamber and representatives from the City of Oklahoma City and other community development organizations attended the International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC) ReCon, the global retail real estate convention, in Las Vegas, and the ICSC Deal Making Conference in New York City. At the conferences, Chamber and City representatives held more than 25 meetings with development companies, retailers and brokers. Throughout the year, the Chamber provided resources or referrals to 45 local retailers and made connections with more than 120 destination retail brokers and developers.
WELCOMING NEW RESIDENTS As the need to recruit workers from outside the Oklahoma City market increased, the Chamber continued to develop essential tools for welcoming new residents to Oklahoma City. The majority of the Chamber’s relocation tools are found on its website, ABetterLifeOKC.com, which totaled more than 73,000 unique visits in 2015. In addition to its digital resources, the Chamber produced its Oklahoma City Welcome Guide which was distributed to more than 2,700 people in 2015. The entire suite of relocation resources is used by companies who are relocating and recruiting talent to the Oklahoma City area. In 2015, the Chamber assisted The Boeing Company with relocation services as it increased its presence in Oklahoma City. 22
TELLING OKLAHOMA CITY’S STORY The Chamber continued its mission to promote Oklahoma City’s growth and vitality by producing quality programs and events that communicate Oklahoma City’s story to a local and national audience. The Chamber reached thousands of people in the Oklahoma City business community through its events and publications. Each event was carefully planned to ensure that Chamber members are not only making quality connections but also gaining important knowledge of Oklahoma City’s business climate and important community issues. To inform the Oklahoma City community about progress throughout the city, the Chamber released two issues of its CityScape newsletter. The issues included updates on Oklahoma City Public Schools, the status of the MAPS projects and more. The Chamber also continued to produce its award-winning digital magazine called VeloCity. The two editions released in 2015 covered the rise of Oklahoma City’s startup culture and the success of its culinary pioneers. The Chamber also engaged with members of the local and national media to produce or assist with more than 880 stories on Oklahoma City or the work of the Chamber in 2015.
INNOVATION IN OKLAHOMA CITY: THE BOEING COMPANY Oklahoma City’s companies, organizations and programs are defining innovation throughout the community. Read on for information on how innovation is improving the region.
The Boeing Company is on a trajectory of growth and success in Oklahoma City, and as the company continues to add both new and relocated positions to its Oklahoma City campus, the Chamber has partnered with its team to recruit and retain highlyskilled workers to the Oklahoma City campus. The Chamber’s partnership with Boeing started in 2010 when Boeing announced a transfer of 550 positions from Long Beach, Calif., to Oklahoma City. The Chamber provided relocation assistance in the form of a redesigned relocation website, a weekly email newsletter and blog, and a personalized and in-person presentation to the employees who were offered a relocation package. Similar efforts took place for Boeing’s subsequent relocations to Oklahoma City. “When you are thinking about making a big life-changing decision like moving across the country, that kind of one-on-one, face-to-face information that the Chamber has provided has been invaluable,” Jeb Boatman, Oklahoma City site director and chief counsel for Boeing, said. “Equipping employees with the information they need to determine whether moving is the right thing for them personally and for their families can be quite a task. The Chamber has been a key partner in helping make that possible.” The groundbreaking of Boeing’s new state-of-the-art research space adjacent to its primary customer, Tinker Air Force Base, only underscores the aggressive growth of the company. In 2015, Boeing hired 500 new employees and plans to hire a similar number in 2016. Boeing has leveraged the power of social media and the networks of its own employees to recruit these highly-skilled, highly-credentialed engineers. And once those people start at Boeing, the Chamber’s resources are used to connect new employees to the community. “It is one thing to get them here, but it is another thing entirely to help them be happy and help them adjust, and the Chamber has been a huge partner in that,” Boatman said.
