The Sand Springs Chamber of Commerce is excited to announce the hiring of new President, Kyle Smith. After a four-month search process the Sand Springs Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors unanimously voted to employ Smith as the new head of the Chamber of Commerce. 

Smith is originally from Chicago and his career has led him through Detroit and eventually to Tulsa. He has extensive experience in sales and management and brings an exciting resume of experience to Sand Springs.

“Kyle has an energetic leadership style; this combined with experience in non-profit and for-profit management positions makes him uniquely qualified to lead the Sand Springs Chamber,” said Erik Stuckey, the Chairman of the Sand Springs Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors. 

Smith has worked for Enterprise Rent-a-Car, Pfizer Inc, and multiple pharmaceutical companies. For the past five years, Smith has led the management team for Workforce Tulsa in both their Tulsa and Sapulpa locations.

“I’m both humbled and excited to work with the Sand Springs Chamber. To take the role as President will be challenging but I know with help from this historic community and guidance from above, we will have a mutually beneficial relationship,” Smith said.

The Sand Springs Chamber of Commerce currently has 264 active members and is growing.  Over the past few years, the Chamber has focused its effort on the launch of the Webco Industries Center for Entrepreneurial Engagement, which currently houses a co-working space and a new business incubator. 

“As a former Project Director and One Stop Operator, overseeing the day to day operations was nothing short of a learning journey. I believe those roles have prepared me to be a leader and performer. I hope to keep that standard of excellence with the Sand Springs Chamber of Commerce.”  Smith said.

The Chamber of Commerce is in the process of re-opening from the COVID-19 closures.  Should things continue a re-opening path many of the Chamber events will resume over the summer and fall. For more information on future events, visit the Sand Springs Chamber of Commerce Facebook page or the website at www.SandSpringsChamber.com.
