Policy Events
Issues and Ideas Forum: Luncheons and Experts
The Oklahoma Council of Public Affairs hosts Issues & Ideas Luncheons every quarter. These events, held in various parts of the state, feature experts on a diverse array of subjects plus offer a forum that enhances and broadens the policy debate.
The Purpose of the Issues & Ideas Luncheon
The nature of the legislative process is such that public policy debates are often framed by specific constituencies and political pragmatism rather than sound principles. By offering a forum for wide-ranging discussion, OCPA broadens the debate to include philosophical ideals - and action points on how to achieve them.
You may want to be notified via e-mail about our upcoming Issues and Ideas Luncheons. In order to receive regular e-mail invitations, please send your name and e-mail address to mailto:ocpa@ocpathink.org.
