Other officers are: George “Skip” Holland of Fayetteville, vice chair and AETN Foundation Board representative, and Philip Hathcock of Maumelle, secretary/treasurer.
Holland, a District 3/at-large representative, was appointed to the commission in May 2012 and reappointed in March 2014. Hathcock, a district 2/at-Large representative, was appointed to the commission in April 2014.
Other commission members are: Sammie Benjamin of Glenwood; John Brown of Siloam Springs; West Doss of Fayetteville; Andrew Fulkerson of Paragould; and Jones.
