“I immensely enjoyed my Leadership Greater Little Rock experience. Through it, I gained exposure to essential aspects of Little Rock that I never would have known about, including our health care and educational systems and key economic and cultural institutions. Three colleagues went through LGLR after I did and loved it, and I look forward to more LRWRA team members participating.”

LGLR provided me with an opportunity to step out of my comfort zone during the team-building exercise. I'll always remember the moment our class stood facing the wall, strategizing on how we could all reach the top. This day confirmed that no matter how daunting an opportunity may seem, with the trust of a team, positive outcomes are achievable!

“Even though I grew up in Pulaski County, I still learned so much about the community, including local public policy issues and concerns, as well as local industries to which I had never been previously exposed.
I’ve not only maintained the connections made during this program, but many have continued to grow even after our class graduated. 11 years later and I still see many of my classmates on a regular basis both on a professional and personal level.”
