Leadership Fort Smith

Leadership Fort Smith is a 10-month program that offers participants a backstage pass to the Fort Smith Region. The class will focus on strengths, challenges, needs, and overall community issues that our participants can directly address. Sessions will cover diverse topics such as healthcare, history, law, government, and education. In addition, participants will learn about economic development and have the opportunity to hear, see, and meet the catalysts for growth in our region.
Only 25 participants are selected each year for this unique professional development opportunity.
After leading the program for 27 years, UAFS has transferred ownership of Leadership Fort Smith to the Fort Smith Chamber of Commerce, effective June 30, 2015.
