Amy Downs began her career as a teller 32 years ago working for Federal Employee Credit Union in the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building. In 1995, she was one of the survivors of the Oklahoma City bombing in which 18 of her 33 coworkers were killed. Embracing her second chance at life, Downs launched a campaign of self-improvement and empowerment and adopted an active lifestyle that enabled her to become an Ironman triathlete. Downs holds a bachelor’s in organizational leadership and a master’s in business administration from Southern Nazarene University. She is president/CEO for the same credit union, now known as Allegiance Credit Union.
