The objective of AEP is to network young professionals, provide volunteer opportunities, and influence the community through our collective voice. Regular social events facilitate the exploration of what Oklahoma City has to offer, civic and service projects help us give back and make our community a better place, and meetings with civic and government leaders keeps us informed and allow us to make our voices heard. AEP's members enjoy benefits (both tangible and intangible) that allow for increased exposure and involvement in the community, increasing their potential for professional development and leadership in various aspects of the community.
