Mandy Morris is 2018 Ponca City Chamber Chair

Mandy was born in Mangum, Oklahoma.  During her early childhood, Mandy’s family relocated to Ponca City, and she has always considered this great community as her native home.  A graduate of the Po Hi Class of 1983, Mandy has fond memories of playing on the very first soccer team at Ponca City High School.  Since that time, soccer has become a popular and competitive organized sport for children of all ages.  Mandy graduated from Northern Oklahoma College with an Associate Degree, and attended Oklahoma State University.

Mandy entered the workforce in 1987 as an accounts payable clerk for Evans & Associates Enterprises.  Mandy knew instantly that she had found her corporate home, and her corporate family.  Under the guidance of its founder, Mandy entered the “Jerry Evans School of Business” and began a challenging career with the local company.  Holding several positions since 1987, Mandy is currently the Chief Financial Officer, and was recently promoted to hold the corporate office of Vice President for Evans & Associates Enterprises and all subsidiaries.

As with all of their employees, Mandy is constantly encouraged by her corporate family to give back to this community through voluntary involvement.  She was active in several Po Hi booster clubs during the years that her children attended Ponca City Public Schools.  The Ponca City Chamber of Commerce provided an opportunity for Mandy to develop as a leader and as a community participant.  She is a proud graduate of Leadership Ponca City and a member of Leadership Alumni.  She is currently serving on the Business Council, Community Development Council and the Ponca Politics Committee.  Mandy was selected in 2016 to serve as the Chamber’s Chair Elect and will become Chamber Chair in 2018.  In addition to her active participation in the Chamber, Mandy served eight years as a director for the Community Health Foundation, and recently attended the Citizens Police Academy,  She continues to serve on several fundraising committees for local agencies.  Mandy is also a member of Professional’s Today.

Mandy is married to Nick Morris, Area Manager of Hiland Dairy, and they have two beautiful daughters, Lexi and Niki.  When not working or volunteering, Mandy enjoys gardening, relaxing by the pool and spending time with her family and friends.
