The Arkansas Tech University-Ozark Campus was named a finalist in the Community Tourism Development Awards category during the 37th annual Arkansas Governor’s Conference on Tourism.
The category annually recognizes an individual or organization which has achieved substantial success in the enhancement of its local resources through imaginative and innovative development efforts.
Laura Rudolph, director of Public and External Relations at ATU-Ozark, was in Little Rock to accept the finalist plaque. The winner of the Community Tourism Development Award was the Mountains, Music & Motorcycles festival in Mountain View.
The Henry Awards have been a feature of the annual Arkansas Governor’s Conference on Tourism since their debut in 1981. The awards are named for the Henri de Tonti, founder of the Arkansas Post in 1686 and who is often hailed as the first “Arkansas Traveler.”
