Why CCOSA Sponsors Champion Public Education

Thousands of CCOSA members are champions for public education across the state of Oklahoma. But we don’t do this important work alone. We are fortunate to be joined by a network of more than 40 diverse, engaged sponsors who play a crucial role in supporting CCOSA’s mission. Sponsorship at CCOSA gives businesses unique opportunities to both engage with educators statewide and contribute to the advancement of public education. We reached out to several sponsors to understand their “why” behind supporting public education and CCOSA. Here’s what they had to say:
