A cyclist tests the new Railyard Bike Park in Downtown Rogers
There’s nothing like it anywhere else in Arkansas. The new, dirt jump bike park in Downtown Rogers, funded in part by The Walton Family Foundation and connected
to the Lake Atalanta trail system, opens with a Grand
Opening and Ribbon Cutting on November 7. The bike park will be yet another piece of the puzzle in furthering Northwest Arkansas’ transformation into a cycling destination. Located only blocks from the Arkansas-Missouri railroad, the park is called “The Rail-
yard” and features wall rides, whale tales and concrete lips. The park is designed to accommodate riders of all different skill-levels and different types of bicycles. It will be open day and night; the city is also installing lighting and building a pavilion and parking lot.

...Continued from Page 1Progressive Trail Design (PTD), a Fayetteville-
based company was contracted to build the park. “A park like this is a game changer for the commu-nity,” said Nathan Woodruff, founder and owner of PTD. His brother, Clayton Woodruff, also of PTD, added, “We tried to create a full scale bike park here for all users, all progressions, from begin-ners to experts. It serves everything from striders, to full suspension bikes, to dirt jumpers, to BMX. Probably the biggest, most signature piece here is a full-scale rail car that you ride through - it will be on real railroad tracks.”
The new bike park is expected to draw people from outside the region, especially for the types of events that can be held at the venue. But it will also provide an opportunity for play for local residents. The Railyard is a great place for kids and teenagers to hang out, doing something healthy outdoors while also offering an adventure and exercise for adults. “Trails and bike infrastructure like this new bike park in Rogers are important not only to our quality of life, but also for economic development in the region,” said Misty Murphy, Regional Trails Coordinator at the Northwest Arkansas Council.
The Grand Opening is November 7 at 10:00 a.m. and will be attended by Mayor Hines and other city dignitaries. Andrea Brinton, Director of the Parks Department for the City of Rogers, told the Chamber Voice there will be demo riders, food trucks, short trails rides and other fun activities to celebrate the opening.

2015 Fall Job Fair Attracts Over 700 Job Seekers in Rogers
The Northwest Arkansas Job Fairs (held Spring and Fall in Rogers) are the largest and longest running annual job fairs in Arkansas.The 2015 North-
west Arkansas Fall Job Fair on October 7 was presented by WorkSource NTS and Glad Manu-facturing and hosted by the Rogers-Lowell Area Chamber of Commerce at the Frisco Station Mall in Rogers. This year’s fall event attracted over 700 job seekers and featured 53 employers.
Steve Cox, Vice-President of Economic Development, said the 700 attendees nearly
doubled the number from the spring event and that the new location at Frisco Station Mall on Walnut St. in Rogers was well received by both job seekers and employers. “This was a nice central location for the job fair, complete with a bus stop out front for easy access,” he said. “The Arkansas Department of Workforce Services also has an office in the mall, so many job seekers were already familiar with the site,” he added.
The annual spring and fall job fairs are free and open to job seekers who are encouraged
to bring their resumes to hand out to prospec-tive employers exhibiting at the fair. At the job fairs, job seekers are able to meet one-on-one with local Human Resource professionals at the Job Seekers’ Resource Room staffed with local human resources professionals and represen-tatives from local organizations that know what it takes to get the right job. “When you look around and see all the help wanted signs, you know that companies are hiring. Our goal was to help connect people who need jobs to these opportunities,” said Cox.

NWA Business Journal Honors Ten Executives at First-Ever C-Suite Awards
Ten top executives from a variety of industries were chosen by the Northwest Arkansas Business Journal to receive recognition through its inaugural C-Suite
Awards at a luncheon held October 13 at the 21C Museum Hotel in downtown Bentonville.
The Business Journal launched the C-Suite Awards this year to celebrate the achievements of some of the area’s most accomplished, well-established leaders in business and nonprofit. Staff selected honorees based on their top-tier profes-sional accomplishments, effective leadership and contributions to the community. These standout leaders earned the esteem of the peers, employees, friends and community members who nominated them. This year’s group included eight chief execu-tive officers, one chief operating officer and one chief information officer, and industries represented include finance, transportation, health care, non-profit, venture capital and design.
For the past 18 years, the Business Journal has honored rising stars in the professional world through its Forty Under 40 program, and it has rec-ognized up-and-comers in their 20s through Fast 15 since 2011. The C-Suite Awards are open to C-level executives of all ages and are aimed toward influen-tial men and women who have already made their mark, but continue to excel in their industries.
Congratulations tothis year’s honorees.

The latest regional Employer Reten-tion and Expansion surveys show that over 54 percent of area businesses are experiencing workforce recruitment
problems. This is affecting businesses of all shapes and sizes across nearly every industry sector in Northwest Arkansas. In response, The Rogers-Lowell Area Chamber of Commerce has commit-ted to helping address this important issue and is pleased to announce a new partnership with the Rogers Public Schools (RPS) | Career & Technical Education (CTE) Programs. These programs are designed to get students trained in career-ready fields and help area businesses find and hire pro-ductive employees.
Highlights from the Annual Board Plan-ning Retreat held October 15 included a Northwest Arkansas Regional Update and Regional Strategic Plan presen-
tation from the Northwest Arkansas Council, reviews of VISION 2025 and VISION 2030 Com-munity Strategic Plans from Chamber President/CEO Raymond Burns, and break-outs with Rogers Mayor Greg Hines and Lowell Mayor Eldon Long for discussions related to the Downtown Master Plan in Rogers and the new Kathleen Johnson Memorial (Regional Sports) Park Plan in Lowell.

Chamber Partners with Rogers Public Schools
J.B. Hunt Hosts Chamber’s Annual Board Planning Retreat
CTE programs provide students both knowl-edge and performance skills in a wide range of career fields. Middle School students (6-8th grade) participate in foundational courses such as Career Development, Keyboarding, Consumer Science Investigations and Computer Applications; as well as exploratory courses such as Web Page Design, and Broadcasting.
CTE programs of study offered on high school campuses provide students opportunities to gain career readiness and technical skills in more specialized areas, including Business, Market-ing, Manufacturing, Machine Tools, Automotive Technology, and Family & Consumer Sciences. High School students (11-12th grade) also have
opportunities to attend courses offered through the Secondary Career Centers, including Certified Nurse’s Assistant, Criminal Justice, Culinary Arts, and Diesel Mechanics.
The goal of Career and Technical Education is to prepare students for both college and career. Through participation in CTE programs of study, students gain both knowledge and technical skills that will help prepare them for college and/or a career following high school graduation.
The Chamber will be sharing more informa-tion with members about the Career & Technical program, including partnerships with local busi-ness and industry, concurrent credit programs, and industry certifications in upcoming issues.
Lowell Mayor, Eldon Long, discussed plans for the new Kathleen Johnson Memorial Park, a regional sports complex that will anchor Lowell to the region.
Rogers Mayor, Greg Hines, discussed the Downtown Master Plan (Downtown Rogers Initiative), including four “Experience District” illustrative plans representing the emerging Downtown personalities of the Master Plan.
J.B. Hunt hosted this year’s retreat by providing meeting room facilities at its main corporate headquarters campus in Lowell.
Chairman of the Board, Mike Watts (FM Corporation), welcomed participants and led introductions to kick-off the retreat.
Mike Harvey, COO/Economic Development, Northwest Arkansas Coun-cil, shared stats and trends in his Regional Update presentation.
