Stevenson’s focus will be on business development to grow the organization through membership campaigns and new corporate sponsorships.
“It is an honor to be reelected to the WEN OK board,” Stevenson said. “I am a strong proponent of WEN’s mission of furthering the development of women in the energy industry, and I am 100 percent committed to bringing WEN’s resources to bear for the talented professional women who are such an integral part of the success of the oil and gas industry here in Oklahoma.”
Stevenson, who was first elected to the WEN OK board in 2016 as programming director, has more than 15 years’ experience within the upstream oil and gas industry, including land, well planning, drilling, completions, and accounting.

Prior to joining Stonebridge in 2013, Stevenson held senior positions at Devon Energy, EAG Services, SandRidge Energy, Chesapeake Energy and Accenture.
