Chamber promotes Kristen King
The Edmond Area Chamber of Commerce is proud to announce the promotion of Kristen King to Vice President of Operations. This well-deserved promotion recognizes King’s outstanding leadership, strategic contributions, and continued commitment to the Chamber’s mission and growth.
In addition to her expanded role, she recently completed the prestigious Institute for Organization Management, a four-year nonprofit leadership training program held at the University of Georgia in Athens and administered by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. As the premier nonprofit professional development program for association and chamber professionals, the Institute fosters leadership through immersive education and national networking opportunities.
King began her journey with the Edmond chamber as an intern and joined the staff full time in 2020 after graduating from Oklahoma Christian University. Since then, her impact on the Chamber has been remarkable. She has played a pivotal role in driving event attendance to record highs, increasing non-dues revenue through sponsorships and programming, and contributing to the success of the Chamber’s Total Resource Campaign.
“Kristen has been a dedicated and
driven member of our team from the very beginning,” said Sherry Jordan, President and CEO of the Edmond Chamber. “Her vision, work ethic, and leadership have made a lasting difference. This promotion is a reflection of her talent and her future potential-we’re excited to see how she will continue to help us grow.”
The Edmond Area Chamber of Commerce, established in 1907, serves as the voice for business in Edmond. With more than 900 members, the Chamber is committed to fostering a strong local economy, providing valuable networking opportunities, and advocating for the success of Edmond’s business community.
