December is for me, the most wonderful time of the year. We know how the song goes, and I couldn’t agree more. We all have at least one amazing memory at Christmas that stays with us through our lives.
The holidays gives us a chance to reconnect with family and, most importantly, a chance to count our blessings. I must say that this year, I’m doing a lot more counting of blessings.
December also means that it’s time to recognize our Power Women, nominated by Arkansas Money & Politics readers.
These women are breaking glass ceilings and excelling in fields that once represented the domain of men exclusively.
And the Power Women recognized inside represent some of the best our state has to offer, including Anne Marie Doramus, vice president of Arkansas Bolt Company. She’s the only woman who serves as an Arkansas Game & Fish Commissioner, and she’s a great example of a strong, confident woman.
All the women on this year’s list show business acumen and display the grit and determination to succeed.
They are CEOs, entrepreneurs, state representatives, health care providers and more, representing a wide variety of industry in Arkansas.
Also, this month, AMP looks at manufacturing with an in-depth look at Lexicon and CEO, Patrick Schueck. We have project updates on Westrock Coffee, explore the all-new Ledger Building, have an overview with Clark Cogbill, director of marketing for the Arkansas Economic Development Commission, plus much more.
This year, Arkansas Money & Politics has really stepped up and out, making a statewide name for itself. I am so proud of our talented staff that has worked hard to develop and grow this pro-business magazine that shows us all how wonderful Arkansas really is.
Thank you for reading. From all of us here at AMP, have a great Christmas and holiday season. Share any comments or story ideas with me at HBaker@ARMoneyandPolitics.com.
