We are glad you’re interested in joining our family of partners!
OKWIT is focused on providing meaningful opportunities to support women and their access to STEM education, as well as foster professional relationships for women in STEM-related careers across Oklahoma.
With the help of our partners, we’re able to organize monthly networking andprofessional development events, hold annual student retreats in OKC and Tulsa, host speaker luncheons, and award several scholarships to deserving students. We partner with companies, organizations, institutions, individuals, along with local universities, schools and faculty to accomplish these broader impact endeavors. Our partners are featured on our website, recognized on our social media accounts, and publicized in email communication to our members.
At the request of our members and event attendees, solicitation of products or services at events is limited to our Networking Happy Hour events at the cost of $500 per event, and must receive approval from the OKWIT board. In-Person representation (<2 minute announcement, giveaway, and/or a table/booth at the event) will be individually reviewed as requested for Gold and Platinum level event sponsors.
