The Chamber, Lawrence Kansas and The Greater Topeka Partnership are partnering to host an inter-city visit to Northwest Arkansas (NWA), a regional collective of Rogers, Springdale, Bentonville and Fayetteville. Titled Stronger Together: Destination NWA, the visit will allow community leaders from the public, private, educational and nonprofit sectors from Topeka and Lawrence to gain knowledge about innovative ideas and programs from Northwest Arkansas. The visit also provides an opportunity for interaction among city leaders and facilitates the exchange of best practices and lessons learned between the visiting cities and the destination cities. Stronger Together: Destination NWA will take place on April 26-29.
2022's trip takes us to Northwest Arkansas, spending most of our time in Bentonville and Fayetteville. The trip includes hotel stay and transportation, several meals that are provided, and a packed schedule of programming ran by leaders and businesses in the Northwest Arkansas area.
“As economic development continues to take on a more regional approach, it’s more important than ever for Chambers and cities to work together. This is an outstanding way for our two cities – with our Chambers and leaders from government, education, and the business community – to learn about a nearby region, share best practices, and strengthen connections.”
