Specializing in education, health and workforce policy, he manages the Chamber’s award-winning OneVoice legislative advocacy and member engagement process, which captures the voice of the business community and regional leaders in state and federal politics.
A 2010 graduate with a bachelor’s degree in liberal arts, Stoycoff worked previously as communications manager for the Chamber and its young professionals organization, Tulsa’s Young Professionals, and as a government reporter for the Tulsa World, Claremore Daily Progress and other Tulsa-area newspapers.
He serves on several nonprofits and community advisory groups working on issues such as homelessness, public health, smart urban development and freedom of the press. He also serves on the board of the RSU Alumni Association.
Advance tickets are required for attending the 1 p.m. master’s and bachelor’s degree ceremony due to the size of the graduating class. The university will provide a live online stream of both commencement ceremonies for those unable to attend in person.
