The Chamber's final Legislative Briefing Breakfast of the year will take place on May 8. Legislative Briefing Breakfasts give local elected officials a chance to provide an outlook on the legislative session and share their top priorities for the remainder of the year.

Featured topic: Oklahoma's role in The Golden Dome

The Golden Dome for America (initially known as the Iron Dome for America) is an initiative of President Trump's administration to develop an integrated air and missile defense system. As noted in a recent edition of The Chamber Report, the Oklahoma Department of Commerce and Aerospace Commerce Economic Services (ACES) that aerospace/defense sector experienced a massive growth in 2024 after securing $146.6 million in new capital investment, which represents 25 new or expanding businesses in the state, resulting in 1,007 new jobs. As such, the state of Oklahoma, including the Tulsa area are expected to have a role in The Golden Dome initiative.

Speakers (subject to change) include:

• Jim Bridenstine, Managing Partner of The Artemis Group; former NASA Administrator and Congressman
• State Senator John Haste, Senate District 36
