Do you want to learn more about the state budget, criminal justice reform, poverty, and other critical policy issues affecting our state? If so, you’re in luck: registration is now open for OK Policy’s second Fall Policy Boot Camp (FallPol). This year, we will host two FallPols — one at OSU-Tulsa on Friday, October 14th and one at Oklahoma Christian University in Edmond on Saturday, October 15th.
FallPol is an intensive, one-day policy training intended primarily for emerging professionals working for non-profits, advocacy groups, government, and businesses, as well as educators, parents, civic volunteers, and other rising leaders with an interest in Oklahoma issues but without in-depth familiarity with the state’s policy landscape. Advocates and professionals with expertise in one policy area who wish to be better informed across a broader canvas of issues will find this training especially useful.
The program is a condensed version of the four-day Summer Policy Institute (SPI) for college students. It will feature overview presentations by OK Policy staff on the state’s major policy issues, as well as breakout sessions on the legislative process, diversity and inclusion, advocacy, and research techniques. You can see the full schedule here.
You can register for the Tulsa FallPol here or the Edmond Fallpol here. The cost of registration is $105 and includes breakfast and lunch. Early bird registration is available at a discounted rate of $90 until Friday, September 23rd. The final deadline to register is Saturday, October 10th. All sales are final.
Space is limited, so register soon to ensure your spot in the program!
