Arkansas Medical, Dental and Pharmaceutical Association, Inc.
The Arkansas Medical, Dental and Pharmaceutical Association, Inc. (AMDPA) is a professional association of minority doctors, dentists and pharmacists based in Little Rock and operating throughout the state of Arkansas.
The association was formed as a forum for practicing African American doctors, dentists and pharmacists who were excluded from membership in most professional organizations. The seed of the organization extends back to the early 1800s. In that year medical professionals gathered together to form Little Rock’s “Colored Medical Association”. The rapid expansion of the association required its renaming in 1893. Since then, AMDPA has become Arkansas’ leading minority health provider association. It is the largest and oldest organization of minority health professionals in Arkansas. Representing over 400 African American doctors, dentists, pharmacists and other healthcare professionals, the association has become a powerful voice for the health care rights of the underserved.
The organization believes that strategically implemented health education programs have the potential to transform the lives of many underserved Arkansans and bridge the major health disparities gap that exists within the population.
One of the goals of the AMDPA has been to address health disparities in underserved populations. AMDPA directed the African-American Adult and Youth Smoking Cessation and Prevention Program, funded by the Arkansas Department of Health with tobacco settlement funds. AMDPA plays a vital role in forming public policy and providing a voice for underserved communities experiencing a disproportionate burden of chronic diseases with a high mortality and morbidity rate. In addition to hosting annual professional conferences and lecture series, AMDPA is also involved in educating future doctors, dentists, pharmacists and other healthcare professionals through scholarships provided to students and to the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS). Members of the association are active in outreach, offering services during health fair events, mentoring high school and college students enrolled in UAMS summer programs; and are frequent guest speakers on radio talk show programs sponsored by the Arkansas Minority Health Commission and student-oriented programs at UAMS.
In 1983, AMDPA made a commitment to elevate the standards of education, enlighten and direct public opinion in the prevention of diseases, care of diseases and prolongation of life. Today, the organization still maintains its historical position of leadership and commitment to the minority and underserved people of Arkansas.

W. Harold Flowers Law Society
In 1930, The Arkansas Black Lawyers Association was founded to support the African American Legal Community. The organization changed its name to W. Harold Flowers Law Society in 1981 to honor William Harold Flowers, Sr., a Pine Bluff, AR civil rights icon. W. Harold Flowers, Sr., fought for and achieved change in Arkansas with the legal prowess he showed in the desegregation of the first former confederate state law school, the University of Arkansas School, the University of Arkansas School of Law in Fayetteville.
Although the W. Harold Flowers Law Society is primarily focused on assisting licensed African-American attorneys in Arkansas, law school students and law school professors are encouraged to become members. As an organization, we strive to embody a community of African-American law professionals playing an active role in the local community. The law society acts as a the state’s affiliate for the National Bar Associations.

100 Black Men of Greater Little Rock
The overall concept of The 100 began in 1963 in New York City when a group of concerned African American men began to meet to explore ways of improving conditions in their community. These visionaries included businessmen and industry leaders such as David Dinkins, Robert Mangum, Dr. William Hayling, Nathaniel Goldston III, Livingston Wingate Andrew Hatcher, and Jackie Robinson. Since inception, the vision has materialized to be shared by more than 10,000 members reaching over 125,000 underserved, underrepresented minority youth annually. Our motto, “What They See Is What They’ll Be,” very succinctly expresses how our programmatic services rendered to disadvantaged, disenfranchised and low-income youth and families positively change their life trajectory. The Greater Little Rock 100 Black Men Chapter was established in 1999. For twenty years the Greater Little Rock Chapter has served its community through mentoring, service, and programs.
The mission of the 100 Black Men of Greater Little Rock Chapter is to improve the quality of life within our communities through Mentoring, Education, Health and Wellness and Economic Development.
This vision of the 100 Black Men of Greater Little Rock is to strengthen our youth’s mental, physical, and moral development through our programs while building collective partnerships.

Northwest Arkansas Chapter of Jack and Jill of America
The Phenomenal Northwest Arkansas Chapter of Jack and Jill was born from a need to find commonality of being young African American mothers who were residing in Northwest Arkansas. The group of mothers initially chose the name NWA Mocha Mommies and met regularly as a playgroup, at family football gatherings, birthday parties and holiday celebrations. It was through these meetings that they began their journey to explore the option of formally organizing a Jack and Jill of America group in Northwest Arkansas. On September 27, 2014 with 21 members the Northwest Arkansas Chapter of Jack and Jill of America was officially chartered.
Jack and Jill of America, Inc., is a membership organization of mothers with children ages 2 – 19, dedicated to nurturing future African American leaders by strengthening children through leadership development, volunteer service, philanthropic giving and civic duty.
