About the Event

The Tulsa Regional Chamber's signature state advocacy trip, OneVoice Day at the Capitol, begins with an evening reception that gives attendees the opportunity to discuss important issues face-to-face with elected officials and fellow community leaders. The following day, attendees will gather to hear from state elected officials, participate in issue briefings, and have the chance to lobby directly with lawmakers at the Capitol later in the day.

If you would like to register more than one attendee, please complete the registration form again for each person.
