August 2019 Chairman's Update
August 2019 • Chairman‘s Update • Project Updates & Events • Important Dates • Economic Development Briefs • New Members • Oklahoma Treasurer’s Monthly Report • Recent Roundtable Activities • Calendar • Commerce/Workforce News Chairman’s Update It is my pleasure to serve as your Chairman for FY 2019-2020 and to report that we continue to have strong membership, a focused program of work and an outstanding Board of Directors from across Oklahoma who are leading our effort. We just held a very successful “standing room only” annual meeting in Tulsa that included a frank conversation about Oklahoma’s economic future with Governor Stitt and Commerce Secretary Sean Kouplen. My take is that there is a renewed focus on business retention and development with special Brenda G. Rolls emphasis on improving the workforce pipeline and equipping our communities and companies with the relevant tools and services to help them grow. Both leaders asked for advice and input from our mem- bers as they build an enhanced strategic economic development plan for the state. Many of you are already in- volved in that effort. Our stated mission is: Business Leadership Advancing Oklahoma’s Economy. We do this by serving as the state’s primary economic development “support” organization providing vital private funding to assist our Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Commerce Department and our many statewide partners. We address this by supporting business expansion, recruitment, start-up and workforce development activities. Projects include assisting workforce development; trade and investment missions; marketing Oklahoma glob- ally; hosting prospects, site location consultants and dignitaries; economic development strategic planning ef- forts; and sponsoring special business development events.

News from the Oklahoma Corporation Commission
News from the Oklahoma Corporation Commission Matt Skinner, Public Information Phone: (405) 521-4180 [email protected] August 3, 2009 OPEN FOR BUSINESS Corporation Commissioners praise effort that results in canceling of furloughs (Oklahoma City) Thanks to efforts to allow the agency to broaden its use of existing revenue and internal cost cutting, plans to close all offices of the Oklahoma Corporation Commission one day a month and place employees on unpaid leave have been canceled. Commission Vice-Chairman Jeff Cloud called the cancellation “the result of extraordinary commitment and cooperation.” “Legislative and administration officials worked closely with us in our efforts to keep the doors open for business,” said Cloud. “We are grateful for the support shown by Governor Henry, Oklahoma Treasurer Scott Meacham, House Speaker Chris Benge, Senate President Pro-Tem Glenn Coffee, and House Appropriations and Budget Committee Chairman Ken Miller.” Commissioner Dana Murphy agreed. “We went to these officials and others to explain the seriousness of the situation and develop solutions,” Murphy said. “They responded, recognizing the concerns of those who do business in the state and know first-hand the negative impact closing the agency would have on business and the state’s economy.” Commission Chairman Bob Anthony said the agency can now move forward. “Given this agency’s many responsibilities, we always have a very full plate,” noted Anthony. “However, the current economic and energy challenges faced by the state make it more important than ever that the agency be able to devote its full attention to the issues and problems at hand.” Because of a funding shortfall, Commission Director of Administration Brooks Mitchell had scheduled the closure of the agency and the furlough of employees for one day a month from August through January, 2010.

This has been a true leadership moment and you have stepped up. We must stay connected, be innovative and help our leaders craft a strategic recovery and “new normal” resilience plan for our companies, communities and state. Already, six Roundtable members are serving on the Governor’s Bounce Back Brenda Rolls Advisory Committee to provide recovery advice. Creating quality jobs and growing Oklahoma’s economy has always been our mission and increased focus on business retention/recovery is our primary focus today. We address this by supporting the work of the Com- merce Department and dozens of business retention, expansion, start-up, workforce development and supply chain activities. Worldwide economic challenges face us and we must do all that we can to protect our energy industry during this crisis. As we reboot our economy, business recruitment remains critical especially as we consider our own resilience and economic diversification. We must continue to market Oklahoma both domestically and internationally. We have a unique opportunity to provide a quality cost-effective location for increased investment and jobs in aerospace, biotech and health, IT and other industry sectors.
