Tom Gordon, co-founder and CEO of Fayetteville-based Slim Chickens, will be the Davis Lecture Series speaker at the University of Central Arkansas College of Business. Gordon will speak on April 7 at 1:40 p.m. in the UCA College of Business Auditorium in Conway.
Gordon provides personal and tailored support for franchisees in a rapidly growing system, and he is the driving leader behind the brand’s goal to have a 600-unit footprint by 2028.
“Tom and his co-founder began their journey in 2003 with one Arkansas store, and because of Tom’s leadership, Slim Chickens has expanded into a global brand,” Dr. Tim Bisping, dean of the UCA College of Business, said. “We are privileged to have the support of the Davis Family to bring an exceptional leader like Tom Gordon to share his entrepreneurial vision and strategic focus with our students, faculty and community partners.”
The UCA campus is invited to attend, and the event is free and open to the public.
The Davis Lecture Series was established in 2010 through a gift from Granger and Jan Davis, and Milton and Claudia Davis. The series features prominent business leaders who have made a significant impact in an industry.
