The Davis Family Lecture Series
Through the generosity of Granger & Jan Davis and Milton & Claudia Davis, the Davis Family Lecture Series was created to feature prominent businessmen and women who have made a significant impact on business. Past speakers include the senior managing partner of Edward Jones John Bachmann, the CEO and Founder of Maverick Transportation Steve Williams, the CEO of America’s CarMart Hank Henderson and the CEO/President of First Security Bancorp Reynie Rutledge. The Davis Family’s gift to the UCA Centennial Campaign, New Vision, New Century, inspired a lecture series open to all students, faculty, staff and business community who wish to attend.
