Arkansas Women’s Hall of Fame to Honor Women in Construction at 2025 Induction Ceremony

The Arkansas Women’s Hall of Fame (ARWHF) is proud to announce a new addition to its 2025 Induction Ceremony: a special recognition honoring the growing impact of women in historically underrepresented professions. This year, ARWHF will spotlight the Constructionindustry as a field making significant strides in the employment and advancement of women.

“While women have long been underrepresented in certain sectors, we are thrilled to celebrate those industries where considerable progress has been achieved,” said Stacy Hurst, Board Chair of the Arkansas Women’s Hall of Fame. “The Construction field has shown notable growth in opportunities for women, and we want to shine a light on that accomplishment.”

As part of this initiative, companies and agencies in the construction industry are invited to show their support by purchasing tickets for team members to attend the 2025 Induction Ceremony on Thursday, August 21 at the Statehouse Convention Center-Wally Allen Ballroom. These participating organizations will be recognized during the event, with company and agency names featured as part of the Women in Construction tribute.

The ARWHF Induction Ceremony honors the achievements of women who have made significant and lasting contributions to the state. This new feature aims to not only celebrate individual achievements but also to spotlight broader industry shifts that are creating more inclusive opportunities.

The ARWHF non-profit began as a partnership between the North Little Rock Chamber of Commerce and Arkansas Business Publishing Group. The North Little Rock Chamber of Commerce currently manages the event. The ARWHF is guided by a board of directors, who earlier this year empaneled a selection committee to seek nominations from the public and help choose the class.

Tables and tickets to the Arkansas Women’s Hall of Fame induction ceremony can be purchased at ARWomensHallofFame.com. Visitors to the site will find more information about the event and the hall’s inductees.
