Advocacy
Limit your liability by keeping abreast of the latest legislative issues and regulatory compliance. A portion of your dues pays for the services of a lobbyist in Oklahoma City and Washington, D.C. who lobbies on the behalf of the multifamily housing industry. Each year, staff and Board members visit Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. to review industry issues and policies with the Oklahoma Senators and Oklahoma members of Congress. TAA’s Government Affairs Committee monitors local policy and issues to ensure we keep you informed about topics that may impact our industry.
Networking
There are numerous networking opportunities at TAA meetings and events throughout the year. We host Luncheon Meetings, MIX (casual after-hours mixer events), and Signature Events like our Mardi Gras Bowl, Trade Show, Cornhole Tournament, Golf Classic, Business at the Ballpark and Zenith Awards. You can also find opportunities to network by participating on a TAA committee. All of these meetings and events provide you opportunities to meet other professionals in the industry and expand your network!

You can have a presentation displayed on the projection screens in the room and/or show a video as your Spotlight. The TAA office needs to have your presentation, video, and name of your speaker(s) by 12:00pm the Friday before the meeting, so we can make sure we have the appropriate setup for you and correct information on the meeting agenda. You are welcome to put print materials and/or promotional items on the tables or chairs prior to the meeting. We encourage you to arrive early if you would like to do this. We ask that you refrain from mentioning any competitors, keep your comments positive, and please do not go over your allotted time of 2 minutes.

Supplier Table
At each of our Luncheon Meetings, we have a covered table in the meeting room for our members who have been designated to have a Supplier Table. A Supplier Table is an opportunity for you to have an area setup at the Luncheon Meeting that allows you to talk to members as they arrive and leave the luncheon meeting. You can hand out information and goodies to meeting attendees. You must sign up in advance for a Supplier Table through the TAA office by by emailing us or calling 918-747-6217.

There is no cost for this Supplier Member benefit, however you must pay the registration fee for the Luncheon Meeting and agree to abide by our cancellation policy*.
*Supplier Spotlight and Supplier Table Cancellation Policy: Supplier Spotlights/Tables may be canceled (or rescheduled based on availability) up to 30 days prior to the scheduled date at no charge. If a Supplier Spotlight/Table is canceled (or rescheduled) less than 30 days prior to the scheduled Luncheon Meeting date you will be charged a $200 cancellation/rescheduling fee. This policy is to ensure there is ample time for another Supplier Member to be scheduled in your place should you need to cancel/reschedule since there are limited Supplier Spotlight/Table opportunities available.
