OPEA is a grassroots association run by Oklahoma State Employees. Every year OPEA Regional Director seats come up for election. The Regional Director seats are divided into geographic regions. This year regions 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 and retiree west seats are up for election. Region 5 has 3 regional director positions due to the number of OPEA members within the region. All three seats are up for election.

If you want to be more active in OPEA and take a more active role in improving state employment and retirement, you should consider running for an OPEA office.  The filing period is June 12th through June 24th at 5 PM. All offices up for election have a two-year term beginning January 1, 2024.

Regional directors serve on the OPEA Board of Directors which meets six to eight times per year either in person or virtually and attend important OPEA events like the annual convention & legislative receptions. They often communicate with legislators and other state leaders to advance OPEA’s agenda. Regional directors also work to increase local membership, coordinate local OPEA activities and communicate with members in their region.

If you are interested in running for an office email Chancen Flick with any questions. If you wish to run for a position, please fill out the form above or email your answers to chancenf@opea.org.

OPEA will screen the applicants to make sure they are eligible to run for office and notify them of their eligibility. If you have questions, please email Chancen Flick. OPEA’s election rules are shown below and we encourage you to review them before deciding whether you would like to run.
