Join the Government Relations Crew for our annual TYPROS Day at the Capitol. Over the past several years, TYPROS has hosted Day at the Capitol to introduce members to the legislative process and to connect them with their representatives in the state legislature. This year we will be joined by Lawton Young Professionals and Oklahoma City Young Professionals to increase our impact and connect with YPs across the state. This is the perfect event for anyone who is interested in learning how to lobby, is passionate about policy issues affecting our state, or who just wants to learn more about how our state government works. Attendees will get the opportunity to meet with elected officials about what is happening this legislative session and tour the Oklahoma State Capitol.
