Join TYPROS for our 2023 Day at the Capitol!
Over the past several years, TYPROS has hosted Day at the Capitol to introduce our members to the legislative process and to connect them with their representatives in the state legislature.
This year we continue our partnership with Oklahoma YP organizations and will be joined by Lawton Young Professionals, Oklahoma City Young Professionals, and several others to increase our collective 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 wants to learn more about how our state government works. Attendees will have the opportunity to meet with elected officials to learn about what is happening this legislative session and tour the Oklahoma State Capitol.
The tentative agenda is included with more exciting details coming!
Transportation is not provided for this trip. Please be prepared to drive yourself or to carpool with other TYPROS members.
