Then Dr. Rick Moore will share about the record-breaking infrastructure bond --Keep OKC Moving; as Co-Chair of this initiative and long-term OKC civic leader, he'll offer great insights. Finally, Cara Adney and Kyle Eastham will present about the rapidly growing OKC film industry and how to become a background actor!
In November as we approach the spring legislative session, we'll hear from Senator Kelly Hines (SD 47) and Senator Julia Kirt (SD 30) about their legislative priorities and key relevant issues. Join us!
