Leadership Arkansas

Created by the Arkansas State Chamber of Commerce and Associated Industries of Arkansas, Inc., Leadership Arkansas identifies and trains individuals with the passion and commitment to become personally engaged in issues, programs and activities aimed at building a better Arkansas.  Over a nine month period, about 45 participants receive the equivalent of a post graduate degree in how Arkansas works in a monthly program that allows them to see first-hand the challenges and accomplishments of local communities. Leadership Arkansas is also supported by the Arkansas General Assembly, with the former Speaker of the House serving as a class chairman and members of the General Assembly participating in the classes.
