As 2024 comes to a close, I am filled with optimism for the future of Trust Company of Oklahoma. This past year has been one of significant growth and achievement, a testament to the dedication and talent of our incredible team. We have persistently navigated challenges, enthusiastically embraced new opportunities, and consistently exceeded expectations.

This year also marked the retirement of Debi Combs, a beloved member of our Retirement Plan Services division. Debi’s extensive knowledge and unwavering commitment to our clients made her an invaluable asset to our team. Her dedication and expertise will be deeply missed. We extend our sincerest gratitude for her 35 years of service and wish her all the best in her well-deserved retirement.

As we set new resolutions and strive for continuous improvement, I am delighted to recognize the outstanding contributions of several individuals with well-deserved promotions:

Joanna Murphy to Executive Vice President

Melissa Taylor to Senior Vice President

Taylor Jarrell to Vice President

Baylor Cashmore and Joseph Mobley to Assistant Vice President

Kelli Gernandt and Helen Gruver to Officer

These promotions are a testament to their hard work, commitment, and exceptional performance. These individuals will continue to inspire and lead TCO excellently. We will carry the momentum of these successes into the new year, continuing to collaborate effectively and pushing the boundaries of what we can achieve together.

Looking ahead, we have much to celebrate. While some may seek luck in eating black-eyed peas or avoiding sweeping on New Year’s Day, we at Trust Company of Oklahoma know that our true good fortune lies in our team’s grit, determination, and unwavering dedication. We possess the talent, the drive, and the collaborative spirit to achieve extraordinary things.

Our purpose has always been to help generations of Oklahomans make informed decisions with their money, and our team is well-positioned to do just that. Let’s embrace the new year, committed to exceeding all expectations.
