The 20 year celebration of the original MAPS is a testament to the power of partnerships – we are stronger when we are unified; we can accomplish infinitely more when we work together toward a common goal. As a region that emphasizes community spirit and a future focus, we are propelling ourselves forward at a pace that is enviable to every other region in the country. The Chamber accomplishes its mission through partnerships with other key stakeholders. The partnerships are established with a common objective – laying the foundation for a great future for Oklahoma City. One of the most effective partnerships is the public private partnership with Oklahoma City and County governments that have produced a series of major steps forward. In addition to the MAPS projects, consider the impact of the GM building acquisition for Tinker Air Force Base, and the renovation of the Chesapeake Arena to NBA standards to attract the Thunder, and city bond issues that allows us to provide local incentives to new companies such as the new $110 million GE Research facility. Through partnering, we are in touch with what is happening in our community through our ongoing collaborations with companies, industries and individuals each and every day. We work throughout the nation to bring economic development opportunities to the metropolitan region; our local companies work with us to market our region as a hotspot for talent and innovation, our governmental relations team works to ensure the business community has a voice at the legislature, we work with our regional universities to help retain the best and brightest talent for our businesses. The list goes on and on. Our ability to create effective partnerships stems from the Chamber’s long record of accomplishments, our significant resources and the commitment of the men and women at the Chamber dedicated to moving Oklahoma City forward. However, the foundation upon which the Chamber rests is the support and commitment of our members. Thank you for your continued support of our organization. Together, we are creating a greater Oklahoma City.

Throughout the year, the Chamber’s work in these areas and others keeps the region moving forward.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT Attracting new businesses, supporting the growth of existing businesses and fostering entrepreneurship are key elements to ensuring that Greater Oklahoma City’s economy remains strong.

“Our goal is to preserve and sustain Greater Oklahoma City’s economic vitality,” said Kurt Foreman, executive vice president, economic development. “By conducting annual interviews with companies in various industries across our region, we can get a pulse on what is happening to help businesses grow and what is holding them back.” From July 1, 2012, through June 30, 2013, the Chamber interviewed more than 300 companies representing more than 43,000 employees, spanning key industry sectors. The results from these interviews show that most companies have been either in a state of stability or growth over the past 36 months. Forty-three percent reported that their company’s employment has remained the same, while 44 percent reported an increase over the three-year span. Only three percent of the companies interviewed reported downsizing, which in most cases was due to normal attrition. The companies have also seen stability in

ownership, with 83 percent retaining the same ownership structure over the past five years. Entrepreneurial Excellence Oklahoma City’s roots in entrepreneurship date back to the Land Run of 1889. Since that day, Oklahomans have been creating businesses and innovation that strengthen the regional economy. It’s no different in this technological age, and the Chamber works to promote the region as a hotspot for talent and entrepreneurial spirit. For the third year, the Chamber joined forces with the Oklahoma Film & Music Office (OF&MO) and local partners to host The Buffalo Lounge at the annual South by Southwest (SXSW) Conferences and Festivals in Austin. During the 2013 conference, the Oklahoma delegation hosted the Buffalo Lounge Elevator Pitch Competition, giving Oklahoma’s top interactive entrepreneurs the opportunity to pitch their concepts to a panel of judges for $10,000 in prizes. Annual conferences such as SXSW let Oklahoma entrepreneurs showcase their innovative ideas, find funding and identify support opportunities for future growth.
“Oklahoma is a great place to do business. Our company could have placed these jobs anywhere in the country, and we chose Oklahoma City. The friendly business climate, high quality of life and excellent workforce make this state a place I’m proud to call home and my company is excited to invest in.” – Bryan Gonterman, AT&T Oklahoma
Reaping the Rewards For the past few years, the Chamber has joined other Oklahoma delegates, including U.S. Sen. Jim Inhofe and Gov. Mary Fallin, to represent Oklahoma’s aerospace industry at two major international events – the Paris and Farnborough Air Shows. This year, Greater Oklahoma City realized the benefits of attending these events as Oerilikon Balzers, a company introduced to our region through the Paris Air Show, decided to begin an operation in Oklahoma City. The company plans to invest more than $2.5 million in facility improvements and equipment.

THE POWER OF PARTNERSHIPS The Chamber and the Alliance for Economic Development are helping Oklahoma City capitalize on opportunities.
The Chamber has long worked alongside the City of Oklahoma City to promote economic development opportunities in the region. As the primary economic development organization for the region, the Chamber works to market Oklahoma City as a viable and exciting option for investment. The Chamber’s economic development team works to identify clients and bring them to the table. From the original MAPS projects and the future MAPS 3 projects to Project 180 and the transformation of the Myriad Gardens, a multitude of the public projects developed by the City leave room for partnerships with private entities. In 2011, the Alliance for Economic Development of Oklahoma City, a nonprofit organization, was established to work with the private sector in order to take advantage of the potential from the City’s public investment. The Alliance combines the efforts of the Oklahoma City Economic Development Trust, the Oklahoma City Urban Renewal Authority, the Oklahoma Industries Authority, the Oklahoma City Industrial and Cultural Facilities Trust, the Oklahoma City Redevelopment Authority and Port Authority of Greater Oklahoma City to bring increased economic development to the city. As a single umbrella organization, the Alliance is the primary point of contact on these projects, improving the efficiencies of these organizations so Oklahoma City can react more quickly and be more proactive. The results are increased economic development for Oklahoma City. Together, the Chamber and the Alliance help these clients see the potential for success offered by a growing city like Oklahoma City.
8
The Alliance and the Chamber work hand-in-hand when helping companies determine incentive opportunities available through the City. When Oklahoma City makes the final list of potential locations for a company, the Alliance works to put together funding sources and finalize deals with the City. In 2013, both the GE Global Research Facility and the resurgence of Terex Corp. are results of the two organizations’ collaborative efforts. Just these two projects alone will result in nearly 2,000 new jobs and millions of dollars in capital investment and economic impact. When it comes to retail in Oklahoma City, the Alliance and the Chamber are two essential pieces to the puzzle. The Alliance is responsible for executing the City’s overall retail strategy, while the Chamber acts as the marketing entity for retail opportunities. “While the partnership between the Chamber and the Alliance for Economic Development is still relatively new, we are already seeing incredible impact from the work these two organizations do together,” said Roy H. Williams, Chamber president and CEO. “Together, we are capitalizing on opportunities in a variety of industries – retail, manufacturing, research and others.”
“Through the Chamber and the Alliance, the City’s ability to create public-private investment opportunities has increased tremendously. By working together, they are increasing the connections made with private developers and furthering Oklahoma City’s momentum.” -Carl E. Edwards, Price Edwards & Company

The laws enacted at the capitol have significant impact for the business community. By developing relationships with elected officials and advocating for legislation that will strengthen our economic climate, the Chamber acts as a voice for companies, big and small, across our 10-county region.
ADVOCACY As the voice of the business community at the State Capitol, the Chamber is intensely focused on advocating for the passage of pro-business legislation that will strengthen the economic climate, making it easier to recruit companies and for existing Oklahoma companies to expand.
Executive Support In February, at the Chamber’s annual Chairman’s Breakfast with the Governor, Gov. Mary Fallin called for a complete overhaul of Oklahoma’s workers’ compensation system and a move away from the state’s adversarial system toward an administrative system. Workers’ compensation reform has long been one of the Chamber’s top priorities as its high costs severely impact the recruitment and retention of business. With the governor’s support, the issue quickly gained momentum and at the end of April, the Oklahoma Senate passed SB 1062, landmark workers’ compensation reform legislation. The new system is estimated to save Oklahoma companies approximately $250 million per year.

Protecting Our State’s Future The State of Oklahoma’s estimated $11.5 billion in unfunded pension debt looms as a potential crisis that,
THE BUSINESS
ADVOCATE
if left unaddressed, could imperil our state’s future economic growth and ability to fund core functions of government. In recent years, the Chamber has supported efforts to address this considerable pension debt. During the 2013 session, Rep. Randy McDaniel, a champion of pension reform, again made considerable progress in enacting pension reform measures. Keeping Incentives Intact Before the start of the 2013 session, the Chamber identified a list of 16 key economic and community development incentive programs that are critical to our efforts to recruit, retain and expand companies. Throughout the session, the Chamber worked diligently to protect these programs. While several pieces of legislation were introduced that would have repealed such programs, each measure aimed at eliminating or reducing the effectiveness of key incentive programs was successfully defeated. At the close of the session, all 16 of the Chamber’s priority economic development incentive programs were protected.
“The success of every business in Greater Oklahoma City depends on a sound economy and a pro-business legislative environment. These things happen with a solid, proactive chamber like the one we have here in Oklahoma City. “ - David Rainbolt, BancFirst

Through a variety of efforts, the Chamber works to promote Greater Oklahoma City in order to bring new talent and companies to the region. In 2013, these efforts saw extensive success, with the pipeline remaining strong heading into 2014.
GROWTH Recruiting companies and talent to Greater Oklahoma City leads to diversification of both the region’s industries and its workforce. This economic stability in the region has led to increased opportunity for Oklahoma City

Going Viral The Chamber and Oklahoma City got a taste of what it means to “go viral” in early 2013 with the launch of a new relocation video. The video was initially shown at the State of the City luncheon on Jan. 24, 2013. Immediately, requests for the video started pouring in and by mid-March the video had more than 100,000 views on YouTube. After nearly a year, the video has been seen in all 50 states, more than 150 countries. Texas, Louisiana, California and Florida had the most viewers and might indicate a good market for recruiting talent to Oklahoma City. Better Access Greater Oklahoma City’s role at the center of the energy industry was a key reason behind Will Rogers World Airport landing new nonstop service between Oklahoma City and Cleveland, Ohio. Northeast Ohio has become a new hub of robust energy activity with many Oklahoma energy companies having operations in that region.

With the addition of this flight, passengers can now travel nonstop to 20 cities and 23 different airports. Activity at the airport has continued to increase in recent years. During 2013, passenger traffic remained steady with more than 3.65 million enplanements and deplanements. Expanding Retail The region’s retail market continues to thrive with sales tax collections surpassing $190 million for the year, up more than 5 percent compared to 2012. There was growth of more than 5 percent in eight of the last 13 months. Retail sales for Greater Oklahoma City were $19.59 billion, up 1.2 percent over 2012. The Chamber works to recruit new retailers to the market while also helping existing retailers better understand the current climate to help them increase their success. During 2013, each of the city’s four major shopping malls – Penn Square Mall, Plaza Mayor at the Crossroads, Quail Springs Mall and The Outlet Shoppes at Oklahoma City – invested significantly in their facilities and announced a number of new retailers. Retail additions in 2013 exceeded 300, including Nordstrom Rack, Von Maur, Lululemon Athletica, Microsoft and Whiskey Cake Kitchen & Bar, just to name a few.
“We’ve known for years that Oklahoma City is a great place to be. Now the nation and the world are seeing that, too. Companies are bringing jobs here, and with them talent for our workforce. Students are staying after graduation and starting their lives here. It’s truly an incredible time to be in Oklahoma City.” - Kari F. Watkins, Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum

With an increasing list of national accolades, a low cost of living and a strong economic climate, it is easy to see why businesses want to be in Greater Oklahoma City. That does not mean that getting companies here is easy. To recruit new companies to the region, it often takes a combined effort – that is where the Greater Oklahoma City Partnership comes into play.
THE POWER OF PARTNERSHIPS
Through the Partnership, the Greater Oklahoma City Chamber works with entities in the 10-county Greater Oklahoma City region to market the area and provide support to neighboring communities’ economic development efforts. By joining forces, the members of the Partnership work together to ensure that interested companies get the information they need to see why Greater Oklahoma City is the place for their business.
The Chamber works with partners in the 10-county Greater Oklahoma City region to promote economic development.
“The collaborative work done through the Partnership helps strengthen communities throughout the region. By marketing all areas of the 10-county region together, we can offer businesses variety and help them choose the best location for their company, bringing jobs, talent, capital investment and more to the Greater Oklahoma City area.“

One of the most attractive aspects of Greater Oklahoma City, outside of the obvious low cost of doing business, is the variety the region offers and its central location. Each community in the partnership offers unique benefits for both potential employers and employees. Through a joint effort, the Chamber and its partners have a greater chance of securing new jobs and opportunities, ensuring that Greater Oklahoma City’s economy remains strong. The group’s main resource for disseminating information to interested parties is a website, www.greateroklahomacity.com. On the website, businesses can find details on various aspects of the region including interactive maps, quality of life information, a data center, a property locator and more. These tools and others are instrumental in introducing interested individuals and companies to the thriving 10-county region that is Greater Oklahoma City: a city that has rediscovered its strengths and redefined itself for the future.
15
Throughout the year, Chamber member companies are doing their work in various ways, ranging from small businesses of one or two people to vast companies with thousands of employees. Despite those differences, Chamber members are unified behind the vision for a bright future for Oklahoma City.
COOPERATION An essential element of the Greater Oklahoma City Chamber’s success is diversity of both businesses and industries.
Coming Together This year brought unique challenges for Greater Oklahoma City as a community. In May, severe storms and historic tornadoes swept through the metro area, leaving behind damage to businesses and individuals in Moore and south Oklahoma City. During the days following the storms, the Chamber launched the Back to Business Initiative to support those impacted. The initiative, which was a partnership between the City of Oklahoma City, the City of Moore, the Greater Oklahoma City Chamber, the Oklahoma Department of Commerce, the Moore Chamber of Commerce and the South Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce, allowed physically-damaged businesses to report their needs and get connected with resources to help them return to business.

May 20 tornado, the Chamber and its partners knew it was critical that those impacted be assisted in any way possible. The Chamber was able to reach out to more than 1,500 businesses impacted by the storms. Serving the Under-Served Another major initiative undertaken by the Chamber during 2013 was reaching out to underserved retail markets. In partnership with the International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC), the City of Oklahoma City and the Alliance for Economic Development, the Chamber worked with a number of existing retailers to help them find ways to improve and grow their business while also studying areas with diminished retail. The studies will allow those areas, such as northeast Oklahoma City, to better understand what types of retail can be successful and how to recruit retailers to the area. Exceeds Expectations This year marked the 20th anniversary of the Chamber’s Total Resource Development Campaign (TRDC) and while that was cause enough for celebration, the end of the campaign also brought a record-total of $3,049,257, surpassing its goal by $249,257 and marking the highest amount raised in campaign history. During the 12-week campaign, more than 185 volunteers from more than 30 corporate teams worked with fellow Chamber members to identify opportunities to help member companies market their business through the Chamber’s wealth of events, programs and publications. More than 400 companies took advantage of opportunities to utilize the Chamber’s resources and programs during the 2013 campaign.
“The Chamber builds the momentum for positive change in Oklahoma City, and TRDC helps support that. In the past 20 years, the Chamber was the driving force behind the development of the former GM facility, the growth of the Will Rogers World Airport and the passage of all three MAPS initiatives. Being a part of this campaign helps us ensure that the next 20 years will be just as successful for Oklahoma City.” - Laure Majors, Frankfurt-Short-Bruza Associates

As the city propels itself forward with public and private investment, the Chamber and Oklahoma City Convention & Visitors Bureau (CVB) work to recruit new events to the region while also growing those events that have called Oklahoma City home for a number of years. Impacting Our Economy Tourism is big business nationwide, but especially so in Oklahoma County where the industry generates nearly $2.5 billion annually. Considering the state as a whole generates $7.1 billion from tourism, Oklahoma City’s role is impressive. Oklahoma County accounts for nearly 35 percent of the state’s total economic impact, with combined results from the next four counties, Tulsa, Cleveland, Comanche and Washington, not equaling what Oklahoma County brings in alone.

second national championship at ASA Hall of Fame Stadium. The seven-day tournament accounted for more than $13.3 million in direct spending and 11,150 total room nights. The tournament shattered attendance records for the second year in a row, with four new session records and one all-time session record. The total attendance record of 70,683 ranks second all-time to last year’s crowd of 75,960. The reason for celebration continued further in November when SportsTravel magazine named the WCWS the best collegiate series in 2013. Model Citizens Visitors to Oklahoma City extend beyond recreational travelers. In 2013, six cities and communities chose Oklahoma City for their benchmarking trip. The city has grown in popularity as a destination for benchmarking trips due to its resilience during the national recession, economic growth and stability and the increased quality of life amenities that have been developed or are being planned. Since 2006, 24 cities have come to Oklahoma City to learn about our successes.
“The Chamber and CVB are invaluable partners when it comes to marketing and promoting Oklahoma City as a premier sports destination. By working together, we are seeing incredible successes. The record-setting at the WCWS and recent recognition from a national industry publication highlight the work we’re doing. I know we will continue to reap the rewards of our hard work. “ - Tim Brassfield, Oklahoma City All Sports Association

THE POWER OF PARTNERSHIPS State Fair Park and the Greater Oklahoma City Chamber work together to help Oklahoma City maintain its reign as “Horse Show Capital of the World.”
In January 1907, 10 months before Oklahoma gained statehood, a meeting was held at the offices of the Chamber of Commerce to discuss the possibilities of “organizing a state fair association.” Later that month, the State Fair Association of Oklahoma was incorporated. The first State Fair of Oklahoma opened on Oct. 5, 1907, with a crowd of more than 10,000 people. Just a year later, on “Derby Day” at the State Fair, attendance reached more than 30,000. The deterioration of facilities, limited space and the growth of oil production on the site led to increased talk of relocating the fairgrounds. With the help of the Chamber in 1951, the City of Oklahoma City acquired approximately 440 acres on which the new fairgrounds would be established at the junction of two future highways – Interstates 40 and 44. While the new location was an obvious success, those closely involved with the State Fair, including the Chamber, knew that the facilities created opportunities for exhibitions and events outside the 10-day fair, and laid the foundation for Oklahoma City’s future as “Horse Show Capital of the World.” The course was set in 1961 when the fair board announced their plans for an eight-year, $4.6 million capital expansion plan, with the first phase including a new building, the expansion of current facilities, new horse barns and the building of a multi-purpose arena. State Fair Park is owned by the City of Oklahoma City and managed through a long-term management agreement by Oklahoma State Fair, Inc. Over time,
20
State Fair Park not only secured Oklahoma City’s place as “Horse Show Capital of the World,” but also greatly increased the city’s visitor, event and convention traffic. The City of Oklahoma City has continually recognized the facilities’ importance and in 2004 asked city residents to approve an increase in the city’s Hotel/Motel occupancy tax. Due to the efforts of the Chamber, the City of Oklahoma City and Oklahoma State Fair, Inc., the voters passed the measure by an overwhelming 89.4 percent margin. The tax increase would ultimately fund $90 million in improvements at State Fair Park. Since then, the Chamber and State Fair Park have worked hand-in-hand to keep Oklahoma City ahead of the rest. Each year, the two organizations partner together to bring the very best equine shows to State Fair Park, bringing millions of dollars in economic impact to the region. The facilities’ annual overall attendance exceeds 2.36 million.
“The relationship between State Fair Park and the Chamber goes back nearly as far as our state. With the Chamber’s support, we were able to make a name for Oklahoma City as the city for equine events. Their support of public improvement projects like MAPS and MAPS 3 help us stay ahead of the competition and keep Oklahoma City as the Horse Show Capital of the World.” - Tim O’Toole, Oklahoma State Fair, Inc.
The work between the Chamber and State Fair Park will increase in coming years as the facilities have increased opportunities to host more events thanks to facility improvements and additions. Through MAPS 3, State Fair Park will receive more than $58 million in renovations that will replace aging public event buildings used primarily for antique shoes, gun shows, craft fairs and the annual Oklahoma State Fair. The new exhibition space is expected to generate more than $136 million in direct spending annually, an increase of more than $40 million compared to the existing facilities.
21
FUTURE The future of Greater Oklahoma City lies in the hands of the visionary leaders and community members who work together to strengthen the region. As the visionary organization in Greater Oklahoma City, the Chamber leads the charge to create a positive image of the region, promoting a strong economy, business-friendly climate, diverse industries, good job opportunities and more.

From nationally-televised Thunder and Women’s College World Series games to the activity along the Oklahoma River, from growing companies such as AT&T and Terex to a bustling retail market, Greater Oklahoma City is selling itself, with the help of the Chamber. Positive Press Oklahoma City continues to be a popular topic for local and national journalists. In 2013, Greater Oklahoma City was on the receiving end of more than 20 accolades ranging from “Oklahoma City among fastest growing” and “No. 2 for small business” to “one of the best cities for good jobs” and even “one of the fittest cities in America.” In all, Oklahoma City was the subject of more than 70 national stories in 2013, with more than 98 percent having a positive tone, helping the region’s positive image to grow. Cause for Celebration Twenty years ago, in December 1993, Oklahoma City citizens changed their future by voting yes on the original Metropolitan Area Projects (MAPS). Through a series of nine publicly funded projects, the city transformed itself from more than a good place to raise a family. Today, Oklahoma City is a great place to live, work, play and visit – and the region’s growth, stability and atmosphere all resonate that.
“If you could have told us back then, invest $87 million to build an arena and we’ll give you Kevin Durant, the Oklahoma City Thunder and the NBA Finals, you think it’s worth it? It’s a no brainer. But in real life, you have to make those decisions before you know the outcome and that’s what we did. We could not have done this without the Chamber and business community. They’ve been our partner in all of this.” -Kirk Humphreys, The Humphreys Company
Promoting Our Product The Chamber’s product is Greater Oklahoma City. Through six websites, more than 30 publications, more than 70 events and elsewhere, the Chamber promotes the region to companies, individuals and the general public. In 2013, the Chamber’s efforts in a variety of areas received recognition from local and national organizations. A list of the Chamber’s award-winning publications and projects can be viewed on page 28.

From the Beginning The Chamber knows that education begins at the very early stages of life, which is why the organization has long been an advocate for early childhood education. Oklahoma is a national leader in early childhood education, but the state’s, and our region’s, education system is in need of work if we want to help our students have successful futures.
TALENT The ability to recruit and retain talent plays an essential role in every community’s ability to succeed, but that role is growing more and more important. Across the nation, cities are facing a shortage of qualified workers.

One key aspect of that in Oklahoma City is supporting Oklahoma City Public Schools in their efforts to improve. In 2013, the Chamber helped the district increase start-of-year attendance rates. For the start of the 2012-2013 school year, only 76 percent of district students showed up to school on the first day. The HERE! campaign worked to improve this number, and through the efforts of the district and its supporting organizations such as the Chamber, the district saw an additional 2,000 students attend the first day of school. Some schools saw more than a 15 percent increase in attendance.

the decision to stay in Oklahoma City after graduation to begin their careers. By promoting the region’s great quality of life, low cost of living, extensive entertainment options, recreational activities and a strong community spirit, the decision-making process gets simpler. But the Greater Grads program does more than promote staying in Greater Oklahoma City. As the largest business organization in the state, the Chamber also knows that these future professionals need guidance as they make the transition from college to career. The Chamber uses two essential tools in its efforts to recruit and retain talent for its future workforce. GreaterGrads.com is filled with job and internship postings as well as career resources. InternOKC, the Chamber’s summer internship program for local businesses, helps educate college students on the benefits of living and working in Oklahoma City along with some key lessons for making a successful jump into professional life.
“Oklahoma City is rising to the top as one of the most desired places to live nationally. To keep the momentum going, it is critical to retain the best and brightest in Oklahoma. The Greater Grads program really increases our region’s potential for retaining and recruiting talent for our workforce.” - Josh Evans, Burns & McDonnell
Connecting Talent to OKC Greater Oklahoma City is a very desirable location for talented professionals. With growing companies and diversified industries, not to mention a consistently low unemployment rate, the region provides extensive opportunities for job seekers. To help these talented individuals get engaged in the community, the Chamber, alongside Leadership Oklahoma City, developed a program, OKConnect, to connect the region’s new leaders with the city’s best opportunities. In 2013, the program walked nearly 70 new-to-market top-level executives or senior managers through the ins-and-outs of Oklahoma City’s past, present and future.

THE POWER OF PARTNERSHIPS Leadership Oklahoma City and the Greater Oklahoma City Chamber are shaping the city’s current and future leaders.
For more than 30 years, Leadership Oklahoma City (LOKC) has been inspiring talented and passionate Oklahoma City professionals to be the next generation of civic leaders. It all started in 1982 as a joint effort between the Greater Oklahoma City Chamber and the Junior League of Oklahoma City. In fact, the group’s first board of directors meeting took place at the Chamber offices. To date, the group has graduated 31 adult classes and 1,450 visionary individuals. Even more impressive – those graduates serve on the committees and boards of thousands of local boards, commissions, committees and associations. From local government to community organizations, LOKC graduates have led a local renaissance of community service. Their dedication to service undoubtedly plays a role in Oklahoma City’s reputation for strong volunteerism. Each LOKC class focuses on a different community issue while also teaching the class members about topics relevant to the community, including public safety, health and medical services, human services, government and the media, quality of life and economic development. LOKC participants have transformed Oklahoma City through their projects. The list of projects from the more than 30 classes is long, but includes the Myriad Gardens Conservatory, Friends of the Oklahoma City Public
26
Schools, Will Rogers Park Arboretum, Oklahoma School of Science and Math and the annual Opening Night celebration. LOKC’s dedication to growing leaders in the community extends beyond its adult classes. In 2005, LOKC expanded its vision to reach Oklahoma City’s younger professionals. LOYAL (Linking OKC’s Young Adult Leaders) participants range in age from 23 to 35 and are quickly rising in the ranks of community involvement. The organization also operates three high school programs. In total more than 3,000 individuals have had the opportunity to enhance the community through an LOKC program. The partnership between LOKC and the Chamber has developed alongside the needs of the community. In 2012, the Chamber and LOKC launched a new program, OKConnect, to help new-to-market top-level executives and senior management discover their place in our community. Through four sessions, participants gain behind-the-scenes insight into Oklahoma City – from the Land Run that started it all to how public projects like MAPS 3 are shaping our future. Through this partnership, the Chamber and Leadership Oklahoma City are committed to ensuring that Oklahoma City’s pipeline of dedicated citizen leaders continues. “The Chamber has been a partner of Leadership Oklahoma City since our very beginning, providing staff support in the first years and invaluable programming and recruiting support for all 32 of LOKC’s years.” - Beth Shortt, Leadership Oklahoma City

Award of Merit International Association of Business Communicators Central Oklahoma Bronze Quill Awards
The International Economic Development Council (IEDC) honored Project 180, a joint effort between Devon Energy and the City of Oklahoma City, with a Bronze Excellence Award. The award was given in the category of Public-Private Partnerships for communities with populations greater than 500,000 and was presented at an awards ceremony in October during the IEDC Annual Conference.
“They’ve never heard of a project like this one,” said Williams. “They’ve all seen TIF funded projects before, but none with such a community-driven focus. And the most incredible thing for most people was that no one talked Devon into doing it this way; it was their idea all along. It really showed people the community spirit that exists here and that Devon recognizes the correlation between successful business and a positive environment.”
