Community Leadership


Leaders in the Northwest Arkansas Community

All Chamber Leadership programs seek to develop a generation of leaders who will contribute to the continued growth and improvement of Fayetteville and Northwest Arkansas. Explore different leadership programs we offer including Leadership Fayetteville, Fayetteville Leadership Teen Xperience, Washington County Teen Leadership, and LINK Leadership Alumni. Each year we choose businesses that exemplify what it means to be a leader in the community and choose Excellence in Business award winners, as well as host the Chairman's Leadership Circle who are visionaries and help with Chamber of Commerce initiatives.

Chairman's Leadership Circle

Through commitment of time and finances, Chairman’s Leadership Circle offers guidance, ideas, insight, problem solving, innovation, and support to the Chamber President and CEO. In return, the Chamber staff benefits from the wisdom and leadership of people who have taken their companies through all phases of the economy thereby helping shape the Chamber’s approach to advocating for the membership and staying abreast of important initiatives.

Excellence in Business


 Each year, Chamber Fayetteville awards specific titles to local businesses that have succeeded in their goals and excelled in the process, with a specific focus on the leadership exhibited. These awards are presented at the Chamber Annual Meeting and the winners' company logos are displayed in the Chamber lobby.
