Which professional organizations are good to join?

[OklahomaNick]

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?

Just start going to every luncheon the chamber offers.

You should consider applying for Leadership OKC's LOYAL program (LOKC > Home, 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.

[ssandedoc]

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

[Steve]

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.
