Committees
Looking to get involved? Create Little Rock has 4 committees you can join.  Learn about them below, and email the committee chair to get on the list.  Committee meeting schedules are determined by each of the committee chairs.

PopUp in the Rock
Organizes and implements our annual PopUp in the Rock project in partnership with studioMAIN.  To learn more about PopUp, visit our PopUp in the Rock page.

Programming
Responsible for selecting speakers for our Unplugged Speaker Series and other programming throughout the year, and for facilitating Serve the Rock and Crew at the Zoo.

Land in the Rock
Organizes and implements our annual Land in the Rock summer program designed to entertain interns, law clerks and medical residents who are here for the summer and demonstrate to them what Little Rock has to offer. These events are also for young professionals who have recently moved to Little Rock. To see last summer’s schedule, visit our Land in the Rock page.

Be501
Be501.com  was conceived by the Economic Development Committee of Create Little Rock’s Think Big Little Rock initiative. It’s designed to be a one-stop shop for things to do in the Little Rock Region. It’s in its beta phase while we build up a committee of volunteers to regularly contribute upcoming events and activities to the site. If you’d like to be an influencer, email clryp@littlerockchamber.com
