The Rogers Lowell Chamber cordially invites you to attend the 101st Annual Celebration of Business and Community April 6 at the Rogers Convention Center from 6:00 – 9:00 p.m. The Chamber's Annual Celebration is the highlight of our year, recognizing the organization’s current and incoming leadership. We’re telling the very important story of the Chamber’s Vision/NEXT initiative and how it keeps inspiring the entire organization to be forward-thinking in serving business and community together.

The four Presenting Sponsors for the Celebration are Walmart | Sam's Club, Hunt Ventures, Sam’s Furniture, and Arvest Bank. The Chamber would like to thank them for their support of our community.

From its humble beginnings as a small discount retailer in Rogers, Walmart has opened thousands of stores in the U.S. and expanded internationally. Through innovation, it is creating a seamless experience to let customers shop anytime and anywhere online, through mobile devices and in stores. The company is creating opportunities and bringing value to customers and communities around the globe. Walmart operates over 11,500 retail units under 63 banners in 28 countries and e-commerce websites in 11 countries. It employs 2.3 million associates around the world — 1.5 million in the U.S. alone.

As a privately held development and investment company, Hunt Ventures is poised in the heart of Arkansas’ most dynamic economic area. They are focused on developing and growing the economy of Northwest Arkansas through the visionary ideas and investment of founder J.B. Hunt now carried on by his wife, Johnelle Hunt. Their development offers over 1,000,000 square feet of Class A office space for lease, over 1,500,000 square feet of upscale retail and dining, one of the area’s largest regional medical centers, over 1,000 hotel rooms and the largest convention center for over 100 miles.

Sam’s Furniture was founded in 1991 in a small downtown Springdale location by Sam and Becky Donaldson. Now over 20 years since the opening of their first store, the second and third generation of Donaldsons have continued the growth of Sam’s, making it the Largest Furniture Dealer in Northwest Arkansas. They strive to maintain a down-home, family friendly environment within the store.

Arvest Bank's story is one of commitment started by their founders, an intense dedication to focusing on the customer above all else. This philosophy has remained the same during their growth from a small bank to a network of community-focused regional banks able to provide a complete range of financial services. Staying true to these principles has been the common thread throughout their history. They will always be active and involved members of the communities they serve and will work to put the needs of customers first to continue to fulfill their mission – “People helping people find financial solutions for life.”
