Recapping Our 97th Annual Meeting
Thanks to your support, the State Chamber/AIA’s 97th Annual Meeting — presented by U. S. Steel — welcomed the largest audience in our 97-year history.
We were honored to have Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders open the program and to hear featured remarks from U. S. Steel President & CEO David Burritt, who reminded us that “Arkansas is a great place to do business because of your people.”
We also recognized this year’s Coolest Thing Made in Arkansas finalists and winner, in partnership with Arkansas Business Publishing Group. Voters selected Huggies Wipes, made by Kimberly-Clark in Maumelle, as the 2025 winner!
As you look back on the day, you can complete our event survey, browse the full photo gallery, and watch David Burritt’s keynote remarks — all now available.
Save the date for our 98th Annual Meeting on November 17, 2026!
