Enid School Board Welcomes Two New Members

Enid Board of Education members are happy to announce the appointment of two new board members: Ernie Currier, Ward 3 and Cody Lack, Ward 5.

“I am pleased we found two people of this caliber to serve our students and our community,” Board President Willa Jo Fowler said.

Several candidates for the positions were interviewed by board committees.

“The citizens of Enid and the members of the Board of Education are very fortunate that several capable people stepped forward to show interest in the vacant board seats,” Fowler said. “We appreciate their time and enthusiasm.”

Lack, a 1990 graduate of Enid High School, serves as Head Golf Professional and Manager of Meadowlake Golf Course. Lack has been in the golf business since 1995, and became a member of the Professional Golf Association in 2001. His 10-year career with Troon Golf Management Company gave him the opportunity to work with some of the nation’s most respected golf professionals. Lack attended Northern Oklahoma College and the College of the Ozarks in Missouri, where he excelled at basketball.  In 2010, he joined the Enid High School Plainsmen Basketball Program, where he served as a varsity assistant coach for two seasons.

Lack serves on the Davis Park Christian Church Board of Directors as a Deacon. He and his wife, Alissa, have three children who attend Enid Public Schools.

Currier, who has lived in Enid for more than 30 years, serves as Vice President for Commercial Lending at Security National Bank. A long-time community volunteer, Currier is a former Enid City Commissioner and Mayor. His involvement in education includes the Autry Technology Foundation Board of Directors, the Oklahoma Baptist University Board of Trustees and Northwestern Oklahoma State University/Northern Oklahoma College Advisory Board.

Currier currently as serves Vice-Chairman of the Vance Development Authority, as a member of the Enid Regional Development Alliance Board, and as Chairman of the Board for the Greater Enid Chamber of Commerce.  He and his wife, Debbie, have one grown son who lives in Arkansas.

Currier and Lack will represent offices previously held by Alan Seibel and Larry Coffey, respectively. An election was not conducted because no one filed for the offices in December.

Mark Keefer

Mark was born not in Enid, America but rather Okeene. At a very young age, his family transplanted to Enid and he has lived his entire life here except for a 4 year stint in the Kansas City area. Mark was brought up listening to the jets roar overhead and sight of wheat trucks hauling in the harvest to some of the world's largest grain elevators. Mark strongly believes in Enid's potential and is currently raising his family here based on that belief. He also still believes in Santa Claus so take that for what it's worth
