    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.

  • Amazing Ambassador - September 2026

    ChamberCommunity


    We are honored to recognize Jared Barnes as the September 2026 Amazing Ambassador!
    Jared Barnes is the Founder and CEO of Cyberhelix Technical Solutions, a local, family-owned IT and cybersecurity company serving businesses across Arkansas and Oklahoma. Cyberhelix has earned the company regional recognition, including 2025 Best of the River Valley and Best of Northwest Arkansas honors, and has been quoted by 5NEWS as a local cybersecurity expert. Cyberhelix also supports nonprofits across the area with both funding and volunteer hours.
     
    Born and raised in Fort Smith, Jared graduated from the University of Arkansas – Fort Smith and built a corporate career in Arkansas before founding Cyberhelix in 2015. The work carries him across the state from the River Valley up through Fayetteville, Rogers, and Springdale, with a few fall Saturdays in Fayetteville calling the hogs with his wife and children.
     
    This is where he chose to build, and it's why he gives this business community real time. Serving as a Chamber Ambassador is a natural extension of that: a chance to show up for his neighbors.

    Thank you, Jared, for being an amazing Ambassador. Your passion and dedication to the Chamber and our community are truly appreciated.
