OSU announces speakers series roster for Oklahoma City and Tulsa
Friday, September 2, 2011
Blair will speak in Stillwater at Gallagher-Iba Arena on October 31 from 3:30- 5
p.m.
Each year, these speaker series showcase world leaders, renowned business and political
leaders, authors and policymakers to the Oklahoma City and Tulsa business communities.
Both the Executive Management Briefings and the Tulsa Business Forums are coordinated
by the Center for Executive and Professional Development at Oklahoma State.
The “Remarks by Tony Blair,” featuring the former prime minister of Great Britain
and Northern Ireland from 1997 to 2007, is scheduled for Tuesday, Nov. 1. He will
address the Tulsa business community at the Mabee Center in the morning and speak
that afternoon at the Oklahoma City Civic Center.
“The Executive Management Briefings and Tulsa Business Forums are something the Spears
School takes pride in each year,” said Larry Crosby, dean of the Spears School. “These
programs are a way for OSU to bring well-known business and government leaders to
Oklahoma City and Tulsa. It is my pleasure to see these programs and the Spears School
looks forward to many more.”
