Featured Guest: Amy Downs
Allegiance Credit Union CEO and Motivational Speaker
Amy Downs began her career as a teller working for Federal Employees Credit Union located in the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building. In 1995, she was one of the last survivors to be pulled from the rubble following the Oklahoma City bombing in which 18 of my 33 co-workers were killed. Realizing how close she came to death, she embraced her second chance at life by launching a campaign of self-improvement which included going back to college, losing 200 lbs, and becoming an Ironman Triathlete. Today she is the CEO of the same Credit Union and she uses her experience surviving the OKC bombing and subsequent transformation, as a way to ignite hope and a desire for growth in others.
