Northwest Arkansas Council

The Northwest Arkansas Council is a private, nonprofit organization established in 1990 by Sam Walton and 30 other business leaders. The council's mission is to advance job opportunities, talent recruitment, physical infrastructure, and the quality of life in the region. With a membership of more than 100 companies, including industry giants such as Walmart, Tyson Foods, J.B. Hunt Transport Service, Simmons Foods, and George's Inc., the council has a strong foundation for impact. Their focus industries are education and healthcare. As of now, there is no public record of the council's last investment or the involved investors. The council's slogan, "Life Works Here", reflects their commitment to making Northwest Arkansas a thriving hub for both businesses and residents, as well as the potential for future investment opportunities.
