She added that their mission is also to gain new customers, whether they are new to town or not, because Arvest Bank wants to be the financial provider for the Bartlesville market.

Adams has 24 years of industry experience and has served in a variety of roles at Arvest since beginning her career as a teller. Adams most recently served as the executive vice president and sales manager for Arvest in Tulsa, which is a position she held since 2015.

Adams said she is very excited to be in Bartlesville. She said she has always worked closely with Kyle Hubbard, too, whom she is replacing. Hubbard now serves as the president and CEO for Arvest in Springfield, Missouri.
