LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (September 27, 2023) – The 39th class of Leadership Greater Little Rock (LGLR), presented by Pulaski County Title, has been selected and all 53 members have one thing in common: they are leaders within their respective industries 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 previous LGLR graduates Suzanne Peyton, Director of Properties, Planning & Development at the Clinton National Airport, and co-chaired by Billy Roehrenbeck, owner of Pulaski County Title. Both are graduates of LGLR.
Participants will meet one day every month at a different central Arkansas location to explore topics through expert speakers, panelists, tours, and group presentations.
