On this episode I sat down with the current Executive Director fo the Oklahoma Historical Society (OHS) The Board of Directors selected Trait Thompson as the executive director and he reported for duty on January 4, 2021.

Thompson began his career with the state as policy director for former Oklahoma Senate President Pro Tempore Brian Bingman. During that four-year service, Thompson read every bill submitted to the senate, met with citizens from across the state and learned how to work with others to achieve shared goals. For the past six years, he has been the project manager for the Oklahoma Capitol Restoration Project, shepherding the preservation and restoration of one of Oklahoma's most important historical artifacts—the State Capitol.
