Alliance honors Intriguing Woman
The Economic Development Alliance for Jefferson County congratulated Allison J.H. Thompson, the Alliance’s president and chief executive officer, on being named a 2021 “Intriguing Woman” by AY Magazine.
A reception was held recently at Nexus Coffee & Creative at Little Rock to honor this year’s class of Intriguing Women, according to the Pine Bluff Regional Chamber of Commerce newsletter.
“Every year, the Intriguing Women section serves as a celebration of all things women,” according to the newsletter. “AY Publisher Heather Baker says the list is a compilation of what intriguing women exhibit: brains, brawn, tenacity and tenderness. From physicians to philanthropists and bankers to wildlife experts, this diverse landscape of glass-ceiling-shattering ladies is proof that women can do anything they set their minds to.”
