Leadership Ponca City Class 37 hosted Mr. Ponca City on May 9, 2024, at the Poncan Theatre. The event was far more than a pageant. The tagline for the event, “Benefitting Ponca City Nonprofits” speaks to the hearts of the members of the 37th LPC class. Mr. Ponca City himself, Relo Adams, shares details of how the event came to fruition.

Leadership Ponca City is a program hosted by the Ponca City Area Chamber of Commerce. Each year community members apply and interview for the program and around 20 class members are chosen. Sessions are held each month that focus on aspects of our community like history, government, arts & culture, etc. It was during Civic & Nonprofit Day that members of Class 37 learned about the large number of nonprofits in our area and their vast needs across the board.
