I am excited to announce an upcoming reunion for graduates of our Leadership Arts program! In my role in managing the program, I often hear from former members who tell me they want to stay engaged with their class and other alumni. Since 2008, more than 300 Oklahomans have participated in Leadership Arts, and it is the goal of our agency to keep this unique network of arts leaders connected. In response, I am pleased to share that a Leadership Arts alumni gathering will take place Monday, April 17, in Oklahoma City. I hope you will attend this special convening! More information is below—you are welcome to take part in any of the activities we have planned for the day. Please RSVP by replying to me at molly.oconnor@arts.ok.gov.
