  • Put your business front and center by sponsoring a Chamber event, annual program, or digital media.

    New network building events in 2022 include the Battle of the Business Bowling Tournament and the Local Lunch for restaurants.  BE PRO BE PROUD and Connecting Educators in Industry are focused on building the workforce pipeline for our community.  Also new this year are two annual program sponsorships, the Governmental Affairs Committee, and the Chamber Ambassadors, both focused on advocacy for a strong, business friendly climate in our community, county, and state. 

    Or promote your business utilizing the Chamber website, which received more than 145,000 visits in 2021. And don't forget the long running favorites; the Annual Meeting & Business Expo, the Golf Classic, Business After Hours, and the Arkansas Scholars Award Ceremony.

    "Let's Talk Business" -- The Impact of Small Businesses

    Small businesses are a driving force in our state’s economy. As of 2016, the Small Business Association (SBA) reported that Arkansas had 481,170 business employees and 244,977 small businesses. This represents 48.5% of total employees and 99.3% of total businesses in the state. While many Fortune 500 companies also call the region home, it is clear that small businesses remain a critical part of industries throughout the state.
