From Our Chairman 

Dear Oklahoma Business Leader:

​

Oklahoma’s economic success story is built on visionary companies like yours. As we look to the future, your leadership and involvement are more important than ever.

​

The Oklahoma Business Roundtable is a powerful alliance of business leaders and economic development partners committed to driving our state’s growth and prosperity. For 34 years, the Roundtable has united business, community, and education leaders around a single mission: Business Leadership Advancing Oklahoma’s Economy.

​

As a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization, the Roundtable plays a unique role—providing vital private-sector funding and support to fuel business retention, expansion, new startups, and the attraction of companies that bring jobs and investment to our communities.

​

When you join, you become part of Oklahoma’s economic engine. Your support helps:

• Develop a skilled workforce ready to meet tomorrow’s demands

• Promote Oklahoma around the world as a prime destination for business investment

• Host prospective employers and site consultants, showcasing our strengths

• Drive strategic planning efforts to keep our economy competitive

• Sponsor high-impact business development initiatives

 

And these efforts deliver results. Just last year, the Oklahoma Department of Commerce worked directly on 71 projects, creating more than 8,100 new jobs and generating over $4 billion in capital investment—investments that will strengthen our state for generations to come.

Your membership directly fuels these achievements and ensures that Oklahoma remains a place where businesses can start, grow, and thrive.

​

As a proud leader in Oklahoma’s business community, I invite you to join us. Together, our collective commitment will continue to create quality jobs, drive innovation, and build a stronger economic future for all Oklahomans.

​

We would be honored to welcome you as a member of the Oklahoma Business Roundtable.

 

Let’s shape Oklahoma’s future—together.

​

Sincerely,

Sean Kouplen
Chairman​
