JOIN OBR
The Oklahoma Business Roundtable is where Oklahoma's business leaders come together to invest in the state's economic future — not just with their time, but with targeted funding that makes a real difference.
OBR is the only organization of its kind in Oklahoma, providing the private-sector funding that allows the Governor's Office, Lieutenant Governor's Office, and Oklahoma Department of Commerce to compete for business investment and jobs at the highest level.
Why Membership Matters
OBR fills a gap no state appropriation can. Our members fund the trade show presence, international missions, prospect hosting, and executive engagement that drive Oklahoma's economic development results. In return, members get direct access to the people and conversations shaping Oklahoma's future.
Member Benefits
-
Direct access to the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and Commerce leadership at three exclusive annual meetings
-
Timely intelligence on active economic development projects and state priorities
-
Connection to a network of 150+ of Oklahoma's most engaged business leaders
-
Monthly member communications and access to the OBR Member Portal
Meetings
OBR meets three times a year — an Annual Membership Meeting in Tulsa each June, a Membership Meeting in OKC in November, and an Executive Briefing in March. Small-group meetings and special events are held periodically throughout the year.
Leadership
A 15-member private-sector Board of Directors oversees OBR's activities. Mark Funke serves as President and CEO.
Annual Membership Dues
Annual dues are $5,000. OBR's fiscal year runs July 1 through June 30.
