Get Tickets OK Policy’s 6th Annual State Budget Summit will bring together Oklahomans with an interest in state policy issues to gain a clearer sense of our challenges and how they can be resolved. The event will be held January 24th, 2019 at the Downtown/Medical Center Embassy Suites in Oklahoma City. Last year Oklahoma made major progress in putting its financial affairs on the right track, but we still have a long road to travel to reverse years of cuts to public services. As Oklahoma’s 2019 legislative session approaches, now is the time to put forward a vision of what broad-based prosperity that benefits all Oklahomans looks like. We are thrilled to have Professor William Julius Wilson as our keynote speaker. Dr. Wilson, a Lewis P. and Linda L. Geyser University Professor at Harvard University, is one of the nation's most highly respected and honored social scientists. The program will begin with an overview budget presentation by our Executive Director, David Blatt. A panel of state leaders, including Sen. Roger Thompson, Rep. Emily Virgin, Chief Gary Batton, Commissioner Terri White and Tulsa Superintendent Deborah Gist will address the state’s budget outlook. Our afternoon session will analyze how current budget priorities align with the needs of Oklahoma’s children, with panelists to include State Superintendent Joy Hofmeister and Family and Children’s Services CEO, Gail Lapidus.
