Secretary Jester Establishes Business and Commercial Services Advisory Council

(LITTLE ROCK, ARK.) – Secretary Cole Jester has issued a Secretarial Directive to establish Arkansas's Inaugural Business and Commercial Services Advisory Council. 

The purpose of the council is to bring together Arkansas business minds to collaborate on ideas to improve and streamline the processes of he Business and Commercial Services Division of the Arkansas Secretary of State's Office.

"In my office, we believe that business, not government, is the backbone of the Arkansas way of life," Jester said. "A government should be by the people, and for the people. I look forward to working with passionate and skilled Arkansas business leaders to make government efficiency a reality."

The council, consisting of individuals appointed by the Secretary of State, will convene to discuss how the Arkansas Secretary of State’s Office can better serve Arkansas businesses.  When assembled, the council will select a chairman among its members who will be primarily responsible for overseeing the administration of the council, subject to the ultimate authority of the Secretary of State.  Each council member will serve for a one year term.  The chairman will submit the council’s proposals to the Secretary of State’s Office for evaluation and, if feasible, implementation. 

Members of the council will be determined within the next 90 days.
