August events at the Chamber

If you are new to OKC or just looking for a way to get involved, there is no better place to network and connect than events put on by the Greater Oklahoma City Chamber. And while we heavily encourage you and your business to join the Chamber (you’ll save a couple of bucks on event tickets) most Chamber events offer non-member pricing. Here is a rundown of some events in August that would make great networking opportunities while getting you better informed on what is going on in your new hometown:

• Enlighten; Friday, Aug. 6 from 11:45 a.m. to 1 p.m. – Enlightened is a monthly virtual event that provides networking and practical resources to help boost your business performance. The best part of Enlighten is each event is free for members and nonmembers alike. The August enlighten will discuss absenteeism and absence management in the workplace and the human resource and legal implications.
• State of the Schools; Wednesday, Aug. 11 from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum- State of the Schools is an annual event where you can learn more about efforts and ideas to improve education in Oklahoma.
