2024 Emerging Leaders Presents Experience NWA: Experience Quality of Life

Backgrounder: The Northwest Arkansas Emerging Leaders (NWAEL), a program of the Rogers Lowell Chamber, connects and engages young professionals through personal and professional development experiences. This is an important focus area of the Chamber’s mission-work to activate leaders in our community. The NWAEL program is open to anyone in Northwest Arkansas that has a desire to get involved in our community.

What’s new: NWAEL has launched a new series of events this year called Experience NWA. Five unique experiences will be held throughout the year will celebrate Northwest Arkansas and what makes our region a great place for young professionals to live, work, invest, visit, and play.

1. It’s a 2 for 1 experience: You’ll have fun meeting new friends and learning something new at Experience NWA events via unique activities and community-focused leadership development opportunities.

What's happening next: At this event you'll enjoy an interactive scavenger hunt and be entered to win unique door prizes in Bentonville's ultimate urban park.

• Learn: Explore Osage's 12-acre native wetland ecosystem and learn from the Peel Compton Foundation about the critical importance of wetland restoration and preservation in a growing metropolitan area.
• Meet new friends: After the scavenger hunt and tour, join us and other attendees for a beer at Bentonville Brewing, which borders Osage Park, for NorthwestPARKansas Trivia!
