Oklahoma Veteran Employer Champions is a collaboration between the Community Service Council (CSC), Oklahoma Veteran Alliance, The City of Tulsa, DR Consulting, Key Personnel and Oklahoma Department of Veteran Affairs. The network was created to identify and build an employer network of organizations interested in recruiting, hiring and developing veterans in the workplace.

The Oklahoma Veteran Employer Champion network was launched with a statewide survey at the Governor’s Veteran Symposium in October 2017. CSC and partners developed the scoring rubric and survey process to carefully identify Veteran Employer Champions in Oklahoma.
