The State Chamber Research Foundation is proud to announce the newest cohort of its Leadership Exchange Academy, a premier program designed to cultivate emerging and established leaders from across Oklahoma’s business, political and civic communities.

This year’s 43-member cohort represents a dynamic cross-section of industries, regions and perspectives, reflecting the Foundation’s commitment to building a strong, connected leadership network across the state.

“The Leadership Exchange Academy continues to serve as a catalyst to develop civic-minded leaders who are equipped to address Oklahoma’s most pressing challenges,” said Jake Yunker, executive director of the State Chamber Research Foundation. “LEA is designed to help participants better understand the public policy process, build meaningful relationships and become stronger voices for Oklahoma’s future. We are excited to welcome this outstanding group and look forward to the impact they will make in their communities and the state.”

Participants will hear from business and political leaders and explore key topics focused on the Oklahoma Competes strategic framework, including education and workforce, innovation and entrepreneurship, economic climate and infrastructure, while building relationships that extend well beyond the program.

The program will take place June 25-26 at ONEOK in Tulsa and July 23-24 at Oklahoma Contemporary in Oklahoma City.

The Leadership Exchange Academy is presented by AAON and sponsored by Inasmuch Foundation. Event partners include ONEOK, Oklahoma Contemporary and Vast Bank. The Foundation is also supported by Cox, Chickasaw Community Bank and AOGC.

The State Chamber Research Foundation congratulates the new cohort and looks forward to supporting their leadership journey.
