The city's first bank, Tulsa Banking Company, opened its doors on July 29, 1895. The name changed to First National Bank in 1899 and received its trust powers in 1928. In 1905, First Tulsa moved into its third home at Second and Main. Described as "the finest in the Southwest," the building was the "skyscraper of the mid-continent." This five-story building featured Tulsa's first elevator, which baffled the Indians and customers who came from throughout the Territory to ride the "mysterious contraption." In 1920, the Bank moved to the corner of Fourth and Main, its home for 30 years.
The Bank celebrated its 55th anniversary in 1950 by moving into its new headquarters, the First National Building at Fifth and Boston. On February 28, 1992, First Tulsa's name was changed to Liberty Bank and Trust and the holding company changed its name to Liberty Bancorp. In a merger with Columbus, Ohio based Bank One Corporation, the name was changed to Bank One, effective December 6, 1997. In a final change, Bank One merged with JPMorgan Chase, effective July 1, 2004. JPMorgan Chase takes pride in having been a charter member of EWI.
Representative: Karen Kellogg, Second Representative: Sam Johnson

Chapter Theme:
Be Inspired...To Grow
|
|
|
Janis shared the following memories and highlights: "Be Inspired…To Grow was the 2011 theme for our chapter. A few highlights were hosting the 2011 Spring Conference - Leadership: A Growth Experience. The tornado sirens and torrential rains did not keep the 75 representatives from 22 chapters with 13 guests from outside our membership from attending.
It was also the first year the Corporate Board and Staff hosted an Executive Round table discussion with our Tulsa Executives. We had five executives attend along with one non-renewing executive. Much was learned about EWI and the needs our executives wanted to see going forward with their membership in our organization.
Our Business and Education Forum was held at the Tulsa Convention Center with speaker Murray Banks sharing the importance of taking time to recharge- reenergize - refocus with 183 chapter members and Tulsa area educators.
Our Executive Night at The Mayo was also a success with twenty-four executives in attendance as we honored Cary Evert with Hilti.
It took everyone in the chapter to put forth their leadership skills for a growth experience. However, the memory that stands out most came at the end of my year when I realized how much I had grown from being inspired by my fellow EWI sisters. Serving is something I highly recommend!

How to Take a Great Company Headshot Article

It seems like everywhere I turn I see people on their cell phones. If they aren’t talking or texting on it, they are keeping it within close range, so they don’t miss the latest message.
While cell phones are a great modern convenience, they also can lead to behavior that can be rude to others when not used properly.
Here are some great reminders to be courteous to others when using a cell phone:
- When you are engaged in a face-to-face conversation with someone, avoid taking any calls or text messages. If you think it is important for you to answer the call or to reply to a message, ask for the person’s permission. This will make the he/she feel respected.
- Please remember to avoid discussing any personal topics when others can hear your conversation. If possible, try to be at least ten feet away from anyone while speaking on your phone and be sure to lower your voice.
- When you’re in public, always put your cell phone’s ringer on silent mode as ring tones are very distracting. This is especially important when you are at a conference, in church, or at a theater – any public venue where an audience is focused on a performance or an event.
- Check your ring tone. Is yours loud and disruptive? Consider changing your ring tone to one that is more subtle, so it does not cause an interruption if it does ring while in a meeting.
- Remember that it is illegal to text and drive in Oklahoma. Also, avoid talking on the phone when you are driving, even if you have a hands-free system. Studies show that distracted drivers cause accidents that result in injuries and deaths.
Just remember that what you say and do in the company of others makes a lasting impression. Always strive to be courteous so you make it a professional impression.
