Lisa Ray last week started her big new job as regional executive for Arvest Bank in northwest Arkansas and southwest Missouri.
(You can read more about that in this week's cover feature, Despite Individual Victories, Progress Slow For Women in Arkansas Banking.)
Ray’s first act after succeeding Cliff Gibbs, who retired, was to name her own successor as president of Arvest’s Springdale market.
He is Kent Williamson, who joined Arvest in 1992 and has spent all that time in the Springdale market.
