Kandi Hughes, Associate General Counsel and Compliance Officer at UCA, was recently selected to participate in the Leadership Greater Little Rock program.
The Little Rock Regional Chamber of Commerce formally announced the members of Leadership Greater Little Rock Class XXXI on Wednesday, Sept. 23, at 4:00 p.m., at an event held in the Great Hall of the William J. Clinton Presidential Center and presented by Simmons Bank. Following the announcement, Simmons honored the new class members with a reception.
Class XXXI is presented by JP Morgan/Chase in partnership with Arkansas Children’s Hospital, CHI St. Vincent, and Wright, Lindsey & Jennings.
Each year, approximately 50 class members are selected from many applicants to participate in the nine-month program. One day a month, October through June, the class meets at a different Central Arkansas venue to explore topics through expert speakers, panelists, tours and group presentations. Designed to develop a network of skilled leaders, the program informs, educates and trains participants on a wide variety of local and public issues.
In its 31st year, Leadership Greater Little Rock has graduated 1,435 community leaders, including a secretary of state, president pro tempore of the Senate, two university presidents, an adjutant general of the National Guard, five chamber chairmen and two federal judges. Class XXXI will be led by volunteer Co-Chairs Kelly Brown (Class XV), OneBanc; and Jay Moody (Class XVII), U.S. District Court.
Leadership Greater Little Rock is an initiative of the Little Rock Regional Chamber of Commerce.
