Marla Mayberry is a native Tulsan who was reared and raised to always believe in old African Proverb “that it takes a village to raise a child” and was taught that God has given each person a destined purpose upon the Earth; therefore, Marla has always understood that her purpose was to serve and provide services of opportunity for her community.

Marla received her Bachelor of Science Degrees in Psychology from the historical Langston University. Upon completing her Bachelors degree, she later decided the importance of obtaining her Masters Degree and pursued her research studies at the University of Oklahoma and achieved her Masters of Human Relations with a concentration in Organizational Development and is currently pursuing a Master’s of Divinity from Phillips Theological Seminary.

Marla became employed with MTUL from 1999 thru 2002 and served in the capacities of Employment Counselor, Program Director for the Education and Youth Development Department, as well as Vice-President of Operations. In 2002, she accepted the opportunity to serve as the Executive Director at the Hutcherson YMCA. As the Director, her highlights were the Capital Campaign where she assisted in raising 6.1 million dollars, the Facility and Staff Restructuring Project and the Designing and Implementation of the New Building. Recently Marla decided to reunite as captain of the Metropolitan Tulsa Urban League (MTUL) Team. Her objective with the MTUL is to bring back the resilience, the financial strength and the bridge between MTUL and Tulsa community with the support of her wonderful staff and board members.

While working at MTUL and serving as a mother and wife, Marla finds time to participate in the PTA at her daughter's schools, serve on the Carver Middle School Foundation Board, Human Rights Commission City of Tulsa Board and Leadership Tulsa Class 34. She is also a member in the Tulsa Alumni Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. and Antioch Baptist Church.
