NORTHWEST HARRIS COUNTY, APRIL 3, 2024 – The American Heart Association, celebrating its 100th year, is pleased to announce that Stacy Davis will be this year’s Northwest Harris County centennial dinner and Go Red for Women chairman. Davis is Sr. EVP and Chief Experience Officer at Stellar Bank in Houston. Stellar Bank has numerous locations in Northwest Harris County and throughout the Houston area.
Stacy Davis has been involved with the AHA for years and her vision has always been to bring as much awareness about the AHA and its mission to the Northwest Harris County community. She is passionate about heart health, stroke prevention and the other life-saving initiatives the American Heart Association funds every year.
“I have admired the vision and mission of the AHA for so many reasons, but perhaps the most important reason is that both heart disease and stroke run in my family,” said Davis. “If I can help bring any additional awareness around the importance of increased funding for heart disease, I am grateful for that opportunity.”
Called Heartbeats Through Time, this Northwest Harris County evening event will also celebrate the 20th anniversary of Go Red for Women. Since 2004, Go Red has addressed the clinical care gaps of women’s greatest health threat, cardiovascular disease.
2024 also marks 100 years of scientific discovery and innovation by the American Heart Association. Founded in Chicago by six cardiologists, the Association was inspired by a social worker who felt more could be done to help people who suffered heart attacks. From humble beginnings and with a vision of improving health around the world, the American Heart Association has grown dramatically and is now the nation’s oldest and largest voluntary organization dedicated to fighting heart disease and stroke. During this second century of bold action, the Association is committed to advancing health and hope for everyone, everywhere.
With bold hearts our own local volunteers in Northwest Harris County as well as our other supporters and staff, will forge ahead into the organization’s second century. The Association will continue to fuel science and innovation, fund lifesaving research, stand for the rights of patients and caregivers, work with communities, and help transcend the way we live, work and play.
As written above, Stacy Davis serves as Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Experience Officer of Stellar Bank. She brings more than 20 years of human resources, organizational development, talent management, and learning and development experience to Stellar. Most recently, she served as Executive Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer of Allegiance Bank. Previously, Stacy served as Senior Vice President and Director of Talent and Organizational Development at BOK Financial. Stacy holds a B.S. in Public Relations/Education, M.Ed. from the University of Central Oklahoma and a Ph.D. in Workforce Analytics from Oklahoma State University.
Outside of Davis’ participation, the AHA in Northwest Harris County is also pleased to be supported by St. Luke’s Health, North Market. Second Century Supporters include American Communications Construction and Aven McBride, BlackPearl Technology, Bob and Suzanne Potter, First Community Credit Union, Houston Methodist Hospital, Memorial Hermann Health System, Tomball Regional Health Foundation, UTMB and Woodforest National Bank. Other major sponsors of the dinner include Stellar Bank and Encompass Health.
