The Leadership Fort Smith Alumni
Association presented the first "Alumni Association Outstanding
Leadership Award" in 1990 to recognize an outstanding individual
from the region whose leadership had made a significant difference
in the community.
The award was renamed "The Jack White
Leadership Fort Smith Award" in 1997, after the untimely death
of community leader, Jack White. Jack White came to Fort Smith in
1987 as the Arkansas Manager for OG&E, and quickly became involved
in the region, serving on a number of boards and volunteering with
several organizations. A graduate of the Leadership Fort Smith Class
of 1990, Jack White was an exceptional leader and is sorely missed
by our community.
