Dear friends and colleagues,

It was so good to see each of you at Called to Serve: ’25, the League’s 2025 Winter Conference. The event was a tremendous success and a fantastic way to kick off the year. With such an incredible turnout, it was inspiring to see so many dedicated leaders coming together, eager to bring fresh ideas and renewed energy back to their cities and towns. We hope you left the conference feeling motivated to tackle new projects, whether you’re revitalizing your flower beds and gardens or implementing innovative strategies to improve your communities. Your dedication and commitment to progress are what make our cities thrive, and together we can continue building a brighter future for Arkansas.

One of the major topics from the conference was municipal water, an essential resource critical to the survival and growth of our cities. We recognize the challenges that come with managing this vital resource, and we want you to know that support is always available. Whether you have questions, need ideas, or simply want to discuss strategies, please feel free to reach out to me or Kelli Souter at [email protected]. We are more than happy to assist and guide you in any way we can.

Strong cities build a strong economy, and by working together, we can continue to make Arkansas a better place for all. I encourage you to reach out, whether you’ve been meaning to or haven’t yet. Let’s not let the year pass by without connecting. Collaboration is the key to progress, and I am always here to support and assist you.

Let’s make 2025 a year of growth and success for our cities and our state.

Best regards,

Parnell Vann
