Participants in Leadership Arkansas are individuals who are most likely to use their leadership abilities to benefit the state. They are selected from a statewide pool of applicants and are considered to be active in such sectors as business, education, the arts, religion, government, community-based organizations and volunteer services. The innovative program is designed to give participants a first-hand look at the interactions between cities, industries, government and the people of the state. More than 400 emerging Arkansas leaders have successfully completed the program, which began in 2005.
