Leadership Oklahoma, a statewide leadership program in its 31st year, is now accepting applications for its 2018-2019 adult class.

The organization accepts a class of 52 members each year.  The criteria for selection includes demonstrated leadership on the part of applicants in their communities and state.  The program is designed to be a series of issue-oriented forums and experiences, which are based on the belief that knowledge is a key element and prime motivator of leadership.  It consists of an orientation session, a mandatory two-day retreat and eight two-day sessions.  Classes are held in locations that best relate to the issues of importance to the state.

“Leadership Oklahoma and its graduates work to create and implement the positive changes necessary to make Oklahoma a better state,” said Marnie Taylor, president and CEO of the Oklahoma Center for Nonprofits and recruitment chair for LOK Class 32. “By learning about the issues that impact our state socially, economically and environmentally, class members are motivated to fulfill our mission of creating a dynamic network of leaders whose increased awareness and commitment to service will energize Oklahomans to shape their state’s future.”
