Member FDIC LETTER FROM THE CHAIR

In 2017, the Greater City Chamber continued to do some of its best work to increase the momentum of the region. From advocacy efforts at the State Capitol and supporting our school districts to encouraging business growth and leading criminal justice reform efforts, there is no doubt that what we accomplished this year will be the foundation of many years of success. We didn’t get here by accident. If there is one thing that sets our region apart from other communities around the nation, it’s our ability to work together. Throughout the 2017 Annual Report, you’ll read stories of collaboration and its impact on the work of the Chamber. I hope you’ll be inspired to commit to the continuous work of bettering Greater . It takes all of us, and the more voices we engage in the process, the better. Thank you for being part of that process, and I look forward to the ways we can be stronger together in 2018. Sincerely,

Rhonda Hooper, Chamber Chair President and CEO, Jordan Advertising

2017 ANNUAL REPORT 1 THE VOICE OF BUSINESS IN GREATER OKLAHOMA CITY

2 GREATER OKLAHOMA CITY CHAMBER Since 1889, the Greater Oklahoma City Chamber has been the voice of the business community and the visionary organization of Oklahoma City. From when the Board of Trade – the predecessor of the Chamber – was founded until now, the Chamber has worked to encourage new industry, support existing businesses and drive the momentum of the region. The Chamber’s list of contributions to the growth of Oklahoma City span the city’s history and include providing utilities to the community at the city’s founding, securing airmail service in the 1920s and recruiting an air depot that later became Tinker Air Force Base to locate in Oklahoma City in the ‘30s. No matter the generation, the Chamber has worked tirelessly to bring new industry to the region, speak on behalf of business at the state Capitol and improve the community’s quality of life. Throughout the 2017 Annual Report, it is evident that the Chamber’s driving principles are alive and well today.

That all changed when the Chamber convened a task force made up of members of the business community, Oklahoma City and County officials, state officials, and law enforcement stakeholders to study the factors that influenced the size of the jail and how it was used in the criminal justice system. The group soon found that the solution to jail conditions would involve far more than just a new jail and would take focused work from several different entities to see success. To understand the issue more fully, the task force contracted with the Vera Institute of Justice to use data to outline strategies for change. In their report on the system, the task force learned that the majority of individuals in the jail were there because they could not afford the fines and fees to be released. The majority were also arrested by the Oklahoma City Police Department.

At the same time, city leaders need to improve the region’s ability to attract a talented workforce and to provide training and employment opportunities for area residents who are not currently connected to the innovation economy. To propel the region forward, the report recommended four strategies around which the community could rally, and three task forces were formed on placemaking, innovation and governance to discuss findings and make future plans. To operationalize these strategies, the board of the Oklahoma Health Center Foundation voted to restructure and assume responsibility for the development and oversight of the new OKC innovation district. To further develop the spirit of collaboration in the area, the Chamber helped host two cross-disciplinary symposiums focusing on innovation during 2017. The first symposium brought together industry contacts to consider uses of imaging across the aerospace, energy and bioscience/medical fields. Each industry presented a panel of speakers to discuss the ways its sector uses imaging technology. The event drew 86 attendees and was at full capacity, showing a real interest in continued collaboration. In October, the Chamber held its second symposium on data and analytics. The event sold out, with 220 people attending. For ongoing updates on the work to boost Oklahoma City’s innovation district, visit www.okcinnovation.com. INVESTING IN OKLAHOMA CITY’S INFRASTRUCTURE On Sept 12, residents of Oklahoma City approved 15 ballot items to invest $1.2 billion in a safer, better Oklahoma City. Comprised of a general election bond package and two sales tax proposals, the approved ballot items will invest $847 million in rebuilding and improving Oklahoma City’s streets, hire 129 more police officers and 57 more firefighters, and improve overall quality of life and city infrastructure by investing in parks, libraries, transit, economic development and more. The Chamber and several community partners called for residents to vote “yes” in order meet the needs of Oklahoma City’s growing population and to preserve economic development opportunities throughout Oklahoma City.
