We are here because we believe in a better future and a better Arkansas.
The mission of NLC Arkansas is to train, equip and establish an inclusive and equitable community of diverse leaders from all parts of Arkansas and to advocate for statewide change. We believe that we need to invest in the leaders of tomorrow in Arkansas; not just future candidates and politicos, but educators, civic leaders, nonprofit leaders, social entrepreneurs, business leaders, and philanthropic advocates.

NLC helped me start my business by providing me with in-depth knowledge in business management, resources, and the group’s support. NLC also taught me how to be a more efficient and effective leader.
