Member Communications - Oklahoma Restaurant Association

Member Communications

Our member communications will keep you up to date! Join our mailing list today. Members can access past issues of our bi-weekly newsletter, A la Carte, or the electronic version of the Oklahoma Restaurateur by logging in to the Members Area.

The A la Carte is the ORA's bi-weekly newsletter. Every other Wednesday, members receive an email summarizing top-priority events, programs, education opportunities, and other important news.

The newsletter is distributed to over 2,000 industry professionals statewide and is our prime source for dispersing time-sensitive information. Exclusive Partnerships are available to members-only and have first right of refusal on renewing the following year.

For more information on A la Carte partner scheduling, contact Cameryn Rose at (405) 819-3170 or cameryn@okrestaurants.com.

Our quarterly magazine, the Oklahoma Restaurateur, is your go-to source for event photos, member spotlights, and industry-related articles.

We always welcome submissions!
