Meet Tammie D. Garrison, Executive Vice President and Chief Treasury Officer of First Liberty Bank. Tammie grew up in a small farm town called Shattuck in Northwest Oklahoma and attended Oklahoma State University, graduating in 1993. She started her banking career at Stillwater National Bank while attending college, and remained with the bank after completing her degree and relocating to Oklahoma City. Tammie started in the collateral department and worked in various areas of the bank before finally joining the Treasury Management Services division in 1998, where she excelled until leaving in July 2006 to help start First Liberty Bank.
As First Liberty Bank, Tammie is responsible for all depository sales and services, overseeing cash management product development, new account products, and lobby operations.

When Tammie isn't working, she volunteers her time to support her community. She has been a mentor with Positive Tomorrows, Oklahoma’s only school and social services agency for children and families experiencing homelessness, for the past 12 years. She has also supported organizations such as Infant Crisis and Anna's House. Tammie is a seasoned member of the Greater Oklahoma City Chamber and has been a member of the Association of Financial Professionals for 20 years.
