This resolution recognizes The Links, Incorporated, an international, not-for-profit organization founded in 1946, comprising over 17,000 professional African American women across 299 chapters in 41 states, the Bahamas, and the United Kingdom. The resolution specifically honors the organization's significant community service, highlighting its focus on five program areas: youth services, arts, national and international trends, and health and human services. It details the contributions of Arkansas chapters from Little Rock (established in 1956), Pine Bluff (1969), and Northwest Arkansas (2018), which have implemented various community projects including mentorship programs, health education, scholarship donations, bullying prevention, and support for foster youth. The resolution officially designates Monday, February 3, 2025, as The Links Legislative Day at the State Capitol, recognizing the organization's commitment to legislative advocacy priorities such as health, economic stability, civil and voting rights, and criminal justice. The resolution also mandates that copies be provided to the presidents of the three Arkansas chapters: Annette Slater (Little Rock), Carla Martin (Pine Bluff), and Phyllis Harris (Northwest Arkansas).
