First Person Summer Series
Features Amy Petty
June 02, 2011
The Memorial Mission Statement describes the Memorial as a place that “. . . should evoke feelings of compassion and hope, and inspire visitors to live their lives more meaningfully.”
Join us this summer for a First Person: Stories of Hope program and hear from people whose stories not only meet that mission, but also allow us to experience history – and the Oklahoma Standard – from those who lived it. The First Person Summer Series, included free with Museum admission, is offered in the Museum’s Center for Education & Outreach on Fridays at 1:30 p.m. from June 3 to August 26.

On April 19, 1995, Amy Petty, who is now Chief Operations Officer and Senior Vice President of Lending at Allegiance Credit Union, worked in the Visa Department at what was then the Federal Employees Credit Union. She fell three floors and was trapped beneath the rubble for several hours before being rescued. Petty was instrumental in the rebuilding of the credit union, which lost 18 of its 33 employees in the bombing.
An Oklahoma City National Memorial Foundation Trustee, she also serves on the Conscience Committee and is a frequent speaker for school groups visiting the Memorial and Museum.
