Upcoming Meetings

February 22nd - Advocating for Inclusion: Insights & Strategies for the 2023 Legislative Session

February marks the beginning of the legislative session for Oklahoma, and in order to continue advancing DEI initiatives in the workplace and in our communities, we need to stay informed and engaged. Join us next month to learn from local and national advocacy professionals as they help us understand the ways legislation can impact corporate DEI strategies, and the ways in which we can get involved!
