Partnerships are the key to advancing vision in our small and rural communities. Thanks to a unique technical assistance investment by University of Central Arkansas Center for Community & Economic Development / Community Development Institute (CDI) Central, our friends in the growing City of Pea Ridge, Arkansas undertook a process of discovery and design facility by Thrive that resulted in a fresh new brand identity, setting the stage for the town to make big moves in Northwest Arkansas!

We're excited about our workshop next week! Part of the placemaking process for your community can include spotlighting natural assets. Do this not only to increase regional tourism but also to increase a sense of pride within your residents. In the case of Helena, Arkansas, we're lucky to have the Mississippi River! When the river is low, it reveals sandy beaches where you can play, camp, or even host after-school land art workshops! ;) #placemaking #branding #makeitfun #getproud

We're excited to follow your journey, Nya Kidd!
On February 7th, I had the wonderful pleasure of giving a presentation for Thrive Inc.'s Creative Pro Wednesday! It was truly a special moment that I am most grateful for, especially considering I was once an attendee at these events. I have achieved far more than I ever imagined and its all thanks to the incredible support from Thrive. During my presentation, I reflected on my journey of applying to and ultimately being accepted into the Graphic Design program at the University of Arkansas. My hope is to serve as a relatable voice for the students who joined me in this presentation, motivating them to pursue higher education and feeling inspired along their own paths. Thank you William Staley for this wonderful opportunity!

Thrive Inc. Is excited to be a subgrantee of the GORP ARound the State program that is soon to roll out here in the Helena area! Please share this cool job!
GORP is hiring! Last month, the Office of Entrepreneurship and Innovation at the University of Arkansas received a $1.2M grant from the US Economic Development Administration (EDA) which, combined with another $1M from the state of Arkansas, will allow us to expand the Greenhouse Outdoor Recreation Program (GORP) to communities across the state. Today, we posted a role for a Sr. Program Manager to lead this initiative, which we have nicknamed "GORP ARound the State". Do you know someone who loves supporting entrepreneurs and helping them build their businesses? Are they detail-oriented? Able to execute on an initial strategy with a mindset of continuous improvement? A self-starter with a ton of initiative? Do they happen to enjoy outdoor recreation too? We have posted this critical role for our team, and I could use your help getting the job description into the hands of the best possible candidates, especially during this holiday season. Feel free to share the link below and have any interested candidates reach out to me directly. #GORP https://lnkd.in/gKCcFTxh
