The December issue always is one of my favorites. First of all, December means Christmas finally is here, and anyone who knows me knows that I love Christmas.
Plus, December means we recognize our Power Women, as nominated by Arkansas Money & Politics readers. While we’ve made a lot of progress, there remains work to be done in ensuring a level playing field for women who are trying to advance in fields traditionally dominated by men. And the Power Women recognized inside represent some of the best our state has to offer. They represent business acumen and display the grit and determination to succeed that have made our country great.
This year’s honorees are CEOs, entrepreneurs, state representatives, health care providers and more, and they represent a wide variety of industry in Arkansas.
Also each December, we look in on the nursing home industry in Arkansas. It’s one that always sits close to my heart because of the important, often thankless, job it provides. Nursing homes provide services that many don’t feel comfortable talking about, and I get it. But the job done by these providers is essential. Inside, we list all of the state’s nursing homes and look in on how the industry fared in an unusual 2020.
Thank you for reading. From all of us here at AMP, have a great Christmas and holiday season. Shoot me any comments or story ideas at HBaker@ARMoneyandPolitics.com.
