Welcome!

Our CCED team is excited to venture into the blogging community!

The CCED blog will be our newest tool to effectively and easily communicate our activities to followers, stakeholders, partners, and UCA students and employees. We want all of our readers to be shotgun during our adventures around the great state of Arkansas (and we’d also like you to come along for the ride when we venture outside the borders of our home territory). This blog will cover topics such as trainings, community projects, student involvement, interesting day-to-day activities of our staff, and relevant community and economic development news.

To shape the future of Arkansas communities we believe that our mission is to equip leaders with economic tools and resources, build consensus to achieve community goals, and to bring UCA resources and communities together. We see this blog as an additional way to attain our mission.

If you have questions or comments about our posts; don’t be shy! Shoot us a message because we would love nothing more than to strike up a conversation with you. We hope to hear from you soon!
