HWOA Annual Conference 2020

Arkansas Resilience- Now more than ever, the current climate has forced people to develop their ability to be resilient in order to overcome the constant challenges and battles to advance despite adversity and bounce back stronger than before. This year has presented unforeseen circumstances which require adaptation and solutions to ensure that the community remains stable and is able to move forward. Though it has not been an easy task, individuals and communities respond to challenges, where the only constant is change. These experiences will remain in the collective memory for generations to come, not only because it is an election year, and a decennial U.S. Census year but also because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Even with all of this, we see unity and strength among us during these trying times, and this is hardly the first time Arkansas has had to deal with challenges. Arkansas Resilience is a reflection of lessons learned over the years, the constant efforts and work that reflect on the community’s resilience and our ability to recover from setbacks while keeping Arkansas advancing despite adversity and in the midst of uncertainty. Join us virtually October 23rd 2020.

Transformational: The Arkansas Experience reflected on the continued changes happening in the state including demographics, infrastructure, educational achievements and economic prosperity-changes that are transforming lives and landscapes in Arkansas. The population growth which is projected to continue across the nation will be reflected in the results of the 2020 U.S. Census and elections. Participation in the census and the elections will show how different groups across Arkansas feel about their communities. Diversity, equity and inclusion are integral elements to growth and community cohesion.
