Fallin Taps Tulsa Chamber

Governor-elect Mary Fallin Announces Wendy Taylor Gregory Will Lead Tulsa Office

OKLAHOMA CITY – Governor-elect Mary Fallin today announced that Wendy Taylor Gregory will serve as director of the Tulsa office of the Governor of Oklahoma. Gregory, who most recently worked at the Tulsa Metro Chamber, will be responsible for the operations of the Tulsa office as well as represent Fallin at events in Tulsa and northeast Oklahoma.

“It’s important to me to stay connected to Tulsa and northeast Oklahoma as we work together to get our state back on track. Working together, we’ll be able to keep our momentum growing and that’s why I’m appointing a full-time office and staff to accomplish this goal,” Fallin said. “I know Wendy is deeply committed to the future of Tulsa and all of Oklahoma and I’m glad to have her on our team. Wendy will be a welcome addition as we work together to move our state forward.”

Gregory, a graduate of the University of Tulsa, has extensive work in public policy and government affairs. Most recently, she served as program manager at the Tulsa Metro Chamber where she helped craft the chamber’s legislative agenda. Previously, Gregory served as legislative director to Congressman John Sullivan, advising him on policy matters and managing the legislative staff in Washington, D.C. She also served as an aide to the Tulsa City Council, where she researched policy issues and assisted with constituent services.

“I’m honored to have the opportunity to work for Governor-elect Fallin in her Tulsa office. I know the governor-elect is committed to bringing more jobs and opportunities to Tulsa, northeast Oklahoma and the rest of our state and I’m ready to help her make that happen,” Gregory said.

Gregory will not start her official duties until January 10, at which time Fallin will be sworn in as the first female and the 27th governor of Oklahoma.
