With Gratitude

Thank You To Our 2026 Banquet Sponsors

On Thursday, October 15, 2026, the Arkansas Insurance Hall of Fame will gather to induct the Class of 2026 at its annual banquet. An evening of this kind is only possible because of the generosity of the companies, agencies, families and friends recognised on this page, and we are sincerely grateful to every one of them.

The Hall exists to honour the men and women whose leadership, integrity and service have shaped the insurance profession in Arkansas, and to invest in those who will lead it next. Proceeds from the banquet support the Arkansas Insurance Hall of Fame fund, which provides scholarships to students in the insurance and risk management program at the University of Central Arkansas in Conway — the only program in the state offering a major in insurance and risk management, and the campus the Hall is proud to call home.

Each sponsorship is a gesture of confidence in that work: in the people we honour, in the students we support, and in the profession they share. On behalf of the Board of Directors, the Class of 2026 and this year’s scholars, thank you.

In Partnership

Hosted With The UCA College Of Business

The Insurance Hall of Fame Banquet is hosted in partnership with the University of Central Arkansas College of Business, home of the state’s only major in insurance and risk management.

We are grateful to the College, its faculty and its students for welcoming the Hall to campus, and for a partnership that makes this evening — and the scholarships it funds — possible.

Where The Hall Lives

University Of Central Arkansas

The Hall is housed at the University of Central Arkansas, which has the only program offering a major in insurance and risk management in the state of Arkansas. Approved in 2000, this baccalaureate degree program serves as a valuable resource for the insurance and financial services industry throughout the region.

Proceeds from the Hall’s banquet benefit the Arkansas Insurance Hall of Fame fund established to provide financial support to students in that program.
