Presenting the Northwest Arkansas Outstanding Business Awards finalists

It’s hard to believe, but we’ve past the quarter pole of 2024. Wasn’t it just the other day that we were wondering how long is appropriate to say, “Happy New Year?”

For several weeks, we have been soliciting the region’s business community for nominations for our first recognition program of the year: the inaugural Northwest Arkansas Outstanding Business Awards, presented by Arvest Bank and Rose Law Firm.

Nominations poured in for worthy businesses and nonprofits. An independent panel of regional business leaders whittled that down to four finalists in one of four categories, and we are pleased to present them in this issue.

As we celebrate and spotlight these finalists, we recognize the collective impact of their efforts. They have not only achieved remarkable growth but have also made an impact on their communities and the broader business landscape.

We eagerly anticipate announcing the four winners — as determined by our judges’ panel — and celebrating their achievements with their fellow finalists at a luncheon from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Wednesday (April 10) at the Northwest Arkansas Convention Center in Springdale. For ticket information, contact Gutterridge at [email protected].

I wish you all continued success. We celebrate your achievements and extend our heartfelt congratulations.
