It'd be nice to meet you.
Oklahoma City Brain Trust
On March 23, 2011, CEOs for Cities, the Greater Oklahoma City Chamber and Oklahoma City Mayor Mick Cornett hosted the Oklahoma City Brain Trust, a robust discussion among local urban leaders about what city success looks like globally and how it can be achieved locally. Participants responded to trends shaping the future of cities and how Oklahoma City is likely to fare in light of them. The final report includes action items for how the local civic agenda needs to shift in response to these trends.
Further, we explored what it means to be a world class city — one of those special places we’ve lived in or traveled to that have left indelible imprints on our experiences and memories. We named them, identified the reasons why they are special and asked ourselves what it would take for Oklahoma City to be listed among them.
Outcomes of the Brain Trust are included in the final report you can download from this page. They will also be compiled and put to use for the development of a national policy agenda and planned publications related to the US Initiative, including a book made possible with support from The Rockefeller Foundation.
