I have been looking at and weighing some of my options of which professional organizations are good ones to join (preferably for a young business professional) here in OKC. Since I know many of you are members of these organizations I thought I would get your advice.

Leadership OKC? Rotary clubs?? Second Century /Okla. Heritage foundation?

What are your thoughts?

Society of American Military Engineers (SAME)
Several different members of firms represented in the OKC Chapter.

What field do you work in?

Profressional and economic development.

Just start going to every luncheon the chamber offers.

You should consider applying for Leadership OKC's LOYAL program (LOKC > Home (http://www.lokc.org), under adult programs). It's a great networking and leadership building program.

LOYAL is a great start. I'd also recommend a younger Rotary club like MidTown or Bricktown Rotary.

MidTown seems newer and Bricktown seems more grounded. Any pref to either one? Is it okay if I work in the non-profit sector?

You may find more non-profit folks in the Bricktown Rotary.

Downtown Club of OKC, Bricktown Rotary, and Leadership OKC Loyal Class are all things I aspire to become a part of this next year.
