New Beginnings, New Hopes, New Surprises Last year at this time, we were looking forward to a bright new future with new programs and new members all with one focus – serving municipal professionals. Our goals haven’t changed. OMA is still here to help municipal professionals in all communities succeed through training and programs focused on safety and industry best-practice work performance. We continue to offer training that addresses OSHA safety standards as well as skills-based training that focuses on enhancing an individual’s ability to perform their job. What has changed is our working environment. With the onset of COVID-19, every business is being forced to evaluate how they serve their customers with processes that ensure social distancing as well as other precautionary measures. During the next year, OMA will continue to do the same. Our number one priority is your safety and the safety of your workers and citizens. We will continue to host on-site and regional training. We will continue to respond to members to meet and fulfill their needs to the best of our abilities. And we will do it all as safely as possible. We are here to help you. Please let us know what we can do for you as you continue to serve your citizens.

    2020 LEGISLATIVE TOOLKIT Oklahoma Primary Care Association OKLAHOMA COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTERS STATEWIDE OVERVIEW 21 health centers in Oklahoma operate 110+ locations across the state WHAT ARE COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTERS? Community health centers (CHCs), also known as Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) or health centers, are non-profit health care providers that deliver comprehensive primary health care services to medically underserved communities. To best serve their patients, many health centers offer a one-stop-shop of integrated services under one roof like medical, dental, behavioral, vision, transportation, case management, and more. The health center program provides health care to over 28 million individuals in the United States. Health centers have long been a bipartisan solution to concerns about health care access, quality, and cost. Health centers treat all patients regardless of ability to pay. In Oklahoma, where many families and individuals lack access to primary care, health centers provide much-needed cost-effective and preventive services and save the health care system money by preventing expensive, avoidable emergency department visits and chronic illnesses. Health centers use sliding fee scales based on patients’ income, have after-hours coverage, meet extensive performance and accountability requirements, and are governed by patient-majority boards that reflect the communities they serve. From Afton to Guymon and Hollis to Idabel, community health centers create jobs and save lives in every corner of our state.

    Verizon Political Contributions January – December 2012

    VERIZON POLITICAL CONTRIBUTIONS JANUARY – DECEMBER 2012 1 Verizon Political Contributions January – December 2012 A Message from Craig Silliman Verizon is affected by a wide variety of government policies ‐‐ from telecommunications regulation to taxation to health care and more ‐‐ that have an enormous impact on the business climate in which we operate. We owe it to our shareowners, employees and customers to advocate public policies that will enable us to compete fairly and freely in the marketplace. Political contributions are one way we support the democratic electoral process and participate in the policy dialogue. Our employees have established political action committees at the federal level and in 20 states. These political action committees (PACs) allow employees to pool their resources to support candidates for office who generally support the public policies our employees advocate. This report lists all PAC contributions, corporate political contributions, support for ballot initiatives and independent expenditures made by Verizon in 2012. The contribution process is overseen by the Corporate Governance and Policy Committee of our Board of Directors, which receives a comprehensive report and briefing on these activities at least annually. We intend to update this voluntary disclosure twice a year and publish it on our corporate website. We believe this transparency with respect to our political spending is in keeping with our commitment to good corporate governance and a further sign of our responsiveness to the interests of our shareowners.

Silliman Senior Vice President, Public Policy 2 Verizon Political Contributions January – December 2012 Political Contributions Policy: Our Voice in the Political Process What are the Verizon Good Government Clubs? and the government agencies administering the federal and individual state election laws.

  • Oklahoma CARES Grants Acknowledgment Requirements

    Oklahoma CARES Grants Acknowledgment Requirements

    Oklahoma CARES Grants Acknowledgment Requirements Introduction Oklahoma CARES Grants are designed to support the retention of jobs and the stabilization of nonprofit arts organizations in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. More than 100 Oklahoma 501(c)(3) arts-focused organizations incorporated in the State of Oklahoma will receive funding through the program. The one-time grants are made possible by federal funding provided through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, and distributed by the National Endowment for the Arts to the Oklahoma Arts Council as its state partner. The grant program reflects the Oklahoma Arts Council’s commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion considerations in the investment of funding throughout the state. Acknowledgment Requirements Organizations awarded Oklahoma CARES Grants must meet all requirements outlined in their grant contracts, including both of the following methods of acknowledging the support of the Oklahoma Arts Council, National Endowment for the Arts, and members of the Oklahoma Congressional delegation. In addition to completing an online final report, organizations must submit with their final report support materials evidence of having met requirements to: 1) send letters of appreciation to their two United States Senators and their organization’s Congressman or Congresswoman in the United States House of Representatives; and, 2) participate in the Oklahoma CARES Grant social media campaign. 1) Letters of Appreciation – organizations must send a letter of appreciation to Oklahoma’s two United States Senators and the organization’s Congressman or Congresswoman in the United States House of Representatives (find out who represents your organization). Letters should thank the elected officials for their support of the arts in Oklahoma during the COVID-19 pandemic, and explain how funding made available from the Oklahoma Arts Council and National Endowment for the Arts through the CARES Act helped the organization retain jobs and maintain stability.
