SAME AR Post May Meeting: Industry Government Engagement Roundtables

Join us for a different kind of monthly meeting!

On Wednesday, May 13th, the SAME Arkansas Post is moving away from the traditional podium-and-slide presentation to host a dynamic Industry Government Engagement (IGE) session.

The Format:
We are facilitating a structured roundtable discussion designed to bridge the gap between sectors. Attendees will be divided into small groups consisting of both industry and government representatives. To ensure a productive dialogue, each group will have a designated leader and curated talking points focused on mutual pain points and collaborative solutions.

Why Attend?:
This is a high-impact opportunity to have your voice heard in a focused, interactive setting. Instead of just listening to a speaker, you will be part of the conversation, building stronger professional relationships and helping develop real-world solutions for our district.

Event Logistics:
When: Wednesday, May 13, 2026
Time: 11:30 AM – 1:00 PM
Where: Camp Robinson Post Headquarters
Address: 9734 Arkansas Ave., North Little Rock, AR 72199
