Planning is a team effort, and strong chapters start with engaged leadership.

We’re excited to introduce the newly elected 2026 APA-OK leadership, selected by our chapter members to help guide our work in the years ahead. These leaders will work alongside continuing board members to support professional development, strengthen connections across Oklahoma, and advance thoughtful planning practices that serve communities statewide.
