The Arkansas Insurance Hall of Fame was held on October 27, 2016 in the Farris Center at the University of Central Arkansas. The Arkansas Insurance Hall of Fame was created to recognize leaders of the insurance industry in Arkansas. Proceeds from the Hall’s banquet benefit the Arkansas Insurance Hall of Fame fund, which was established to provide financial support to students in UCA’s insurance and risk management program. The Hall is housed at UCA, the only institution that offers a major in insurance and risk management in the state of Arkansas. Approved in 2000, the program serves as a valuable resource for the insurance and financial services industry through the region and community.
