Jennifer Bingaman, manager of construction planning in Arkansas, graduated in May from the Leadership Arkansas program, coordinated by the Arkansas State Chamber of Commerce.
Class XVII included 54 leaders from across the state who spent a lot of time together over nine months working to become better acquainted with the issues facing Arkansas, experiencing the best that the regions and communities have to offer and honing their already-demonstrated leadership capacities.
Our company sponsored the Northwest Arkansas session in April which focused on regional development. From health care to poultry production and transportation to retail sales, Northwest Arkansas continues to be one of the fastest growing and most progressive areas in the country. Class members examined the impact a handful of entrepreneurial pioneers had in this development, along with those who have followed and pooled collective resources to continue their legacy.
Congratulations, Jennifer, on your completion of this prestigious program! We appreciate the impact you are making on Arkansas communities served by us.
We partner with our communities and customers, providing the kind of energy that fuels those areas and the lives of those we serve. Feel free to share the stories and photos. Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube, and Pinterest for more!
