In 1991, the Roundtable became incorporated as a 501(c)(6) nonprofit, nonpartisan corpora- tion with 7 charter members. In the first few months of operation, the number of charter members grew to 24. Members today who were founders are: American Fidelity Crowe & Dunlevy ONEOK AT&T Greater OKC Chamber of Public Service Company of Bank of America Commerce Oklahoma Bank of Oklahoma Hitachi Computer Products State Chamber of Oklahoma Blue Cross Blue Shield of OK OGE Energy Corp.

For a complete list of Roundtable members, go to our website, http://okbusinessroundtable.com/membership/oklahoma-business-roundtable-members. 1 In real dollars, the 2017 Oklahoma’s GDP (adjusted for inflation using value of 2017 dollar) was $189.16 bil- lion and, in 1991, the GDP was $107.32 billion. In real dollars, Oklahoma’s economy is 76% larger now than in 1991. Roundtable members have contributed towards this effort through their annual membership fees. In turn, these funds have been leveraged by public and other private funds to increase the return on investment. Thank you for your support of the Roundtable.

Brian pro- vided an overview of the significant economic impact the Thunder organization has had throughout its first ten years and thanked the many Roundtable/Thunder corporate supporters for their participation. Byrnes said the Thunder continues to rank as one of the most popular NBA franchises in the nation, with over 15 million social media followers and is ranked at the top for best game experience. It is now broadcast in over 200 countries and positively markets Oklahoma globally. Throughout Oklahoma, the Thunder is establishing new community outdoor basketball courts (now num- bering 22) to provide an inspiring place for kids to play, stay active and make healthy choices both on and off the court. The Thunder also supports over 200 player events annually, is active in STEM and literacy programs and has begun a new statewide business start-up effort, the Thunder Launchpad. Brian Byrnes Oklahoma City Thunder Governor Fallin and Commerce Secretary Snodgrass gave updates on the state’s economy, current business development activities and a review of statewide economic development successes over the past 8 years. Commerce/Workforce News Business Development on Upswing First quarter 2019 business announcements (July 1-September 3) were strong. Oklahoma Department of Com- merce recorded 23 business announcements, a 29% increase over last year. At the recent October 2nd Roundtable Membership meeting, state leaders provided a statistical report highlight- ing business expansion and new location successes for FY2018 (ending June 30, 2018.) The report only included statewide projects in which the Commerce Department was involved. Combined, the total operational impact of projects won by the Commerce Department in FY 18: • Will generate 23,059 jobs with payroll of $921.7 million annually. • Will contribute $1.848 billion per year to the state’s GDP. • The projects will generate $63.13 million in state tax collections and $45 million in sales and property tax collections for county and local governments. In the past ten years, the Commerce Department has worked with 592 business projects in 97 Oklahoma com- munities totaling over 70,000 new jobs and $61 billion in investment. Total manufacturing output in Oklaho- ma for 2017 was $16.94 billion with 4,264 manufacturing companies. 3 Selected New Statewide Location/Expansion Announcements Name Location Jobs/Investment Alorica Tulsa 300 jobs Aviagen, Inc.

To register visit: https://okcommerce.gov/data/conference. Oklahoma Work-Based Learning Program Underway Oklahoma’s work-based learning program seeks to assist employers with creating work-based learning oppor- tunities, such as internships and apprenticeships, and connect them with job-seekers. By creating such oppor- tunities, employers are able to develop workforce solutions that meet their specific needs, test drive talent and build their own talent pipeline. As a registered work-based learning employer, you will receive technical assistance from the Oklahoma Works/Oklahoma Office of Workforce Development to create quality, rigorous work-based learning pro- grams. You will also have access to a competitive applicant pool and industry-developed standards for work- based learning in particular occupations. In April 2018, Governor, Mary Fallin signed Senate Bill 1171 which established the work-based learning pro- gram. The bill appropriates $850,000 annually to fund a work-based learning program. The money comes from revolving funds from the Office of the Secretary of State. The goal of the state’s “Earn and Learn Okla- homa” program is to increase the number of registered apprenticeships and internships in the state to 20,000 per year by 2020. For more information on work-based learning in Oklahoma, visit www.oklahomaworks.gov/work-based- learning. 4 Project Updates & Events Manufacturing Networking Events Continue Throughout Oklahoma With Roundtable support, the successful Manufacturing Networking luncheon series is continuing throughout the state. The events help bring Oklahoma manufacturers together in a series of working luncheons to connect, learn and potentially do business with one another. The stated goals are two-fold: 1.

  • Chesapeake Energy Arena
    PROJECT PROFILE Chesapeake Energy Arena Designed by Jerrold Stevens of Marsh/PMK Installed by Ford AV Project Details Location Oklahoma City, Oklahoma Category Sports (arena) Project Type 18,200-seat indoor arena Fulcrum Products (32) CS121 21 inch Subcardioid Subwoofers Supporting Products EAW Anya Speaker Modules Lab.gruppen Power Amplifiers The Chesapeake Energy Arena, Oklahoma City’s premier venue for large events and QSC Q-SYS Core DSP entertainment, is primarily known as the home of the NBA’s Oklahoma City Thunder. Renkus-Heinz STX Series Speakers The Arena modernized its sound system prior to the Thunder’s 2016-17 season with the Yamaha CL3 Digital Mixing Console first large scale deployment of Fulcrum’s CS121 passive cardioid subwoofers and the NBA’s first permanent installation of EAW’s Anya adaptive-array system. Designed by Marsh/ PMK’s Jerrold Stevens and installed by Ford AV, the advanced technology audio solution gives the Oklahoma City Thunder a sound to match their name. Challenges “The sound system needed excellent intelligibility, fidelity, output and bandwidth to enhance the overall fan experience and become more competitive with other NBA arenas, ” Stevens explains. Solution “Cardioid was a huge factor in the arena design,” Stevens says. “Vertical subwoofer arrays are ideal for providing smooth coverage to the seating bowl and keeping sound energy off the floor. However, the large centrally located scoreboard precluded any loudspeakers directly over center court. Forced to hang subwoofer arrays around the scoreboard’s perimeter, I knew cardioid patterns were necessary to minimize interference between arrays.” Stevens was familiar with Fulcrum’s passive cardioid line array modules and their ability to eliminate excessive rear low frequency radiation without requiring additional drivers, amplifiers or signal processing channels.

LETTER FROM THE CHAIR Throughout the Greater Oklahoma City Chamber’s 131-year history, when difficult challenges arise, the Chamber has stepped forward to tackle issues while looking for new opportunities to build for the future. When COVID-19 hit the OKC area in March, the impacts to our business community were immediate, and for many devastating. The Chamber began immediately doing everything possible to provide information, identify potential support and look for any possible opportunity to help businesses losing revenue due to this monumental shift. At the same time, we never took our eye off the ball, keeping a strong focus on the future of Oklahoma City. Preparing for the new convention center and post-pandemic push for tourism growth, supporting local business expansion and recruiting new companies to the region, advocating for business at our state capitol, and helping to bring businesses together for virtual networking and information. This report highlights our efforts this year, but is certainly not an exhaustive list of the work we have accomplished together. Our membership can be proud of what we have done together and confident that we can continue to imagine a bright future.
