Do you know a successful Arkansan who has contributed to their industry, community and the state of Arkansas? The Arkansas Business Hall of Fame board is now accepting nominations for the 2023 class of leaders. The nomination deadline is July 31.

Since its creation in 1999, the Arkansas Business Hall of Fame has become one of the most prestigious honors for business leaders in our state.

Four distinguished Arkansas natives were recognized last month as part of the Class of 2022 and were added to the prestigious list of Hall of Fame members.

The class of 2022:



  • Peggy J. Clark, owner and managing general partner, Clark Timberlands

  • Thomas E. Faust Jr., chairman, Morgan Stanley Investment Management, and

    former chairman and chief executive officer, Eaton Vance

  • George G. Gleason II, chairman and chief executive officer, Bank OZK

  • Ginger L. Graham, founder and owner, Ginger and Baker, and

    former president and chief executive officer, Amylin Pharmaceuticals


These leaders shared their path from small hometowns in Arkansas to becoming industry leaders. Hear their stories.
