LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (September 25, 2024) – The 40th class of Leadership Greater Little Rock (LGLR) has been selected and all 56 members have one thing in common: they are leaders within their respective industries and are interested in expanding that involvement across the region.
Established in 1985, LGLR is a nine-month community leadership program created by the Little Rock Regional Chamber. It is designed to develop effective leaders by enhancing their civic, social, and professional awareness to positively impact our community.
This year’s class is chaired by Billy Roehrenbeck, the owner of Pulaski County Title, and co-chaired by Molly McNulty, Attorney at the Arkansas Court of Appeals. Both are graduates of LGLR.
