Heather Pingry

31; Executive Director, Tulsa International Mayfest; Tulsa

Every May, Heather throws a party in downtown Tulsa for around 350,000 attendees. No small feat, but all in a day’s work for this young professional. She is responsible for overseeing all aspects of the production of Mayfest, from securing sponsorships and non-profit partnerships to organizing pre-festival special events and planning the budget. But she’s not all business. Off the clock, Heather volunteers with Leadership Tulsa as well as Trinity Episcopal Church. She also enjoys spending time with her husband, Stephen, and daughter Claire.
