The Duncan Chamber of Commerce is proud to announce it has named Rita Livingston as its new Director of Development and Engagement. She will be responsible for marketing and communications, event management, digital media, and program fundraising for the Duncan Chamber.

“I am incredibly excited to join the Duncan Chamber, and look forward to working with our members, volunteers, committee members, and Board of Directors,” said Livingston. “I am interested in learning how the Chamber can better serve our members through targeted events and resources that will help them grow their businesses and connect with other Chamber members.”

Livingston comes to the Duncan Chamber with a vast knowledge of marketing, advertising, public relations, and media communications. Until recently, Livingston worked as the Public Information Officer at Red River Technology Center for 16 and a half years. While at RRTC, she managed marketing and advertising; wrote and disseminated press releases and photos celebrating the students and staff and their achievements; designed and created digital and print media (catalogs, brochures, and ads); developed and managed the school’s social media platforms; served on the National Technical Honor Society committee; and was part of the team that developed and implemented the Employability Skills Program for students.

Before joining RRTC, Livingston worked at the Duncan Banner and First National Bank in Marlow. Most recently, she was a stay-at-home mom, while also substituting at Duncan Middle School and Duncan High School and running an Etsy shop.

Livingston enjoys attending her children’s activities and can most often be found cheering on the Duncan Demon Tennis team, serving as a moderator for academic team meets, and attending band performances and class parties.

“Duncan is such an incredible community! I look forward to meeting many new people and being a small part of helping our businesses grow and thrive,” Livingston added.

Kelly Arnold, President and CEO of the Duncan Chamber, said Livingston fits the new culture of the Chamber, and she anticipates Livingston strengthening the Chamber’s ability to better serve its members and the community.

“I am excited about what Rita will bring to the table regarding her expertise in marketing and creativity,” Arnold said. “The Board, our Chamber members and I are looking forward to working together to bring the Duncan Chamber to the next level.”

Livingston graduated from the University of Oklahoma with a bachelor's degree in journalism and an emphasis in Public Relations. She is originally from Rush Springs and has lived in Duncan for 14 years. She is married to Michael Livingston, and they have two children: Trent, 15, a freshman at Duncan High School; and Danica, 10, a fourth grader at Horace Mann Elementary.
