Member Event - Main Event Saturday, June 11th

the first call, (even if the caller dialed the OKC number.) While the OBA is still data mining and analyzing statistics, I suspect we will learn a bit later just exactly how well the program went. From my own personal observations there, I would say the Tulsa phones have not been that busy and engaged in over 10 years! To be frank, we had more calls coming in than Attorneys to answer them. For the first 3 hours, every Tulsa phone was lit up constantly with no break between calls for all 8 stations. (We even had an emergency 9th station set up which became busy as well throughout the day.) I believe we could have used 12-15 phones and all that is needed for next year (2023) is enough Attorneys to operate the phones. Again, when I say phones, I mean portable iPads that you could carry in one hand with a donut in the other hand and actually walk around the Bar Center while taking calls! Speaking of the Bar Center, I want to acknowledge and thank our Executive Director Tami for the hospitality shown to us. A fully stocked refrigerator with water, tea, soft drinks and juice was complimented with donuts & sausage rolls as well as excellent gourmet sandwiches from Capriotti’s in Broken Arrow. I forgot to mention the pizza and hot wings we had for supper! I want to thank the OBA and the TCBF for their generosity in purchasing the equipment and software, which can be used year-round for other projects as well. While we all owe a huge debt of gratitude to the OETA for DECADES of service to us, it was time to create and walk our own path in our own way with our own equipment now and forevermore. I say again: WOW!
