HISTORY The inaugural Oklahoma Diversity Officers and Pract it ioners Consortium (ODOPC) meeting was held in April of 2008, on the campus of the INTEGRIS Health Baptist Medical Center. The concept of the ODOPC was conceived by the inaugural ODOPC President and former Vice President of Community Wellness & Diversity, Jason Thompson. Thompson wanted to create a forum to address diversity issues through networking, organizational meetings, workshops, conferences, and diversity speakers and invited diversity officers from across the state of Oklahoma to attend. The ODOPC strives to create, identify and disseminate best practices that positively impact organizational behavior, academic excellence, and enhance professional growth. It is an inclusive organization comprised of diversity professionals from various industries who are interested in furthering diversity initiatives by identifying and addressing challenges and opportunities.
