The El Dorado Union County Chamber of Commerce announced that Steven Jones has been appointed as president and CEO.
Jones is a former vice president of Ideal Construction Co. of Little Rock. In that role, he led the company’s business development efforts across a four-state region, working with architects on master facility plans, helping customers navigate decision-making, and offering guidance on project options, the chamber said in a news release.
His team’s portfolio included minor facility upgrades, multi-phased renovations and ground-up rural hospitals and schools.
Prior to his time at Ideal, Jones was a high school football coach for 13 years, with the last six being in Union County.
