Morrilton, Arkansas – February 18, 2020 marked Conway County’s first-ever Industry Day! Local industry partners Crow Group, Green Bay Packaging, Koontz Electric, and Wayne Smith Trucking, in conjunction with the Arkansas State Chamber’s Be Pro Be Proud truck, spent the day talking with students about the need for skilled trades and exploring career opportunities in the area. Over 150 students from South Conway County, Sacred Heart, Wonderview, Nemo Vista, Perryville and Hector were in attendance. Students had the opportunity to hear from UACCM’s admissions office and Conway County School Counts over lunch, which was sponsored and prepared by Centennial Bank. Special thanks to everyone involved, and the continued support of the Morrilton Area Chamber of Commerce, Senator Mark Johnson, Representative Rick Beck, Mayor Allen Lipsmeyer, and Conway County Judge, Jimmy Hart.
