Firm Conducts Financial Services Industry-Focused Forum for Women
OKLAHOMA CITY – Crowe Dunlevy is pleased to announce the second forum of 2025 of “ Women in Banking, Fintech & Finance” (WBFF), an educational, networking and mentoring opportunity for women in the banking, fintech and finance industries. The initiative serves as a forum for women at all levels of the financial services industry to share, learn and grow from each other’s experiences during events designed exclusively for women. The forum is strategically intended for women in financial services in Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, and Arkansas.
The brainchild of Crowe Dunlevy’s Tulsa female attorneys, the forum will host bi-annual receptions in Tulsa featuring topical industry presentations and leadership panel discussions.
“Crowe Dunlevy created Women in Banking, Fintech & Finance to foster discussions on industry trends, share strategies for successful leadership and career advancement, and address everyday workplace challenges faced by women,” says Crowe Dunlevy’s Stacy Schauvliege, a shareholder and director in the firm’s Tulsa office and a member of the firm’s Banking & Financial Institutions practice.
The forum’s next panel discussion event will take place on Wednesday, November 5, 2025, at Tulsa Country Club and will include the following panelists:
- Jhoanna Astudillo, VP, Hispanic Segment Leader, Consumer Division at BOK Financial (moderator)
- Mishelle Davis, Branch Manager, Red River Credit Union (RRCU) in Fort Smith, AR
- Geron Morgan, Partner, Forvis Mazars US
- Taylor Potter, COO, Ardley
- Dawne Stafford, CEO, Security Bank Corporation
“Crowe Dunlevy acknowledges the significant impact of women in the financial services sector and the hurdles they encounter regularly,” says shareholder/director Kayci Hughes, a member of the firm’s Executive Committee and a commercial litigator in the firm’s Tulsa office. “We hope attendees will gain insights on setting themselves apart, managing stress, building stronger teams, adapting to industry changes, fostering accountability, and more,” continues Hughes.
“Don’t miss this opportunity for invaluable networking and important industry insights. Not only will you benefit both personally and professionally, but we hope you’ll leave our events motivated, energized, and inspired,” says Schauvliege.
