Leadership Searcy NextGen is a premier leadership development program for high school juniors enrolled in Searcy High School, Riverview High School and Harding Academy. The program will provide meaningful leadership development and networking opportunities, introduces students to a wide range of careers and local businesses, cultivates a spirit of service, and offers a behind-the-scenes look at how Searcy and White County work and grow.
The program is modeled after our highly successful adult Leadership Searcy program, which is now in it's 31st year of serving the community. Class members will meet with local decision makers from multiple business sectors including economic and community development, small business, non-profit, local and state government, higher education and healthcare. Participants will visit locations across the county, hear from influential speakers from the community, and participate in activities aimed to teach them about the Searcy area and how they can impact the community.
The competitive application and nomination process is conducted through area high school counselors, and the program is administered by the Searcy Regional Chamber’s Leadership Searcy Next Gen Committee. This committee will include representatives from education, business, workforce development, and community leadership to ensure students receive a well-rounded and impactful experience.
Leadership sessions will begin in September, with an evening event on September 22nd from 5:30 pm until 7 pm. We encourage parents of the selected class participants to attend the evening event.
The first session on September 23rd will feature a day-long retreat at The Vines Center, 4H Excel Center, in Little Rock, where students participate in team-building activities and explore their individual leadership styles.

About Us
We are a mobile food truck specializing in tacos and margaritas. We have pop-up tables and chairs for customers to enjoy their quick lunch or dinner, rest, and relax before heading back to the hustle of life. At Salt & Lime, we care about the people and the community. Our food and drinks are made with healthy & fresh foods. We'll have calories listed for those who are health-conscious, but still need a moment to unwind. Perhaps a group of nurses finish their shift, and they decide to pop in and have a quick meeting over a quesadilla and the flavor of the week margarita, they must join the S&L Private Club (physical & digital records). We are not a bar. You cannot walk up, get some food and a drink, and leave, cup in hand; like any brick & mortar, you cannot walk into the street with open alcohol. Patrons are required to stay on designated Salt & Lime premises. No driving up to order & no "to-go" drinks. We are an upstanding establishment, trying to provide a service to the people. We are committed to boosting our community by attending the Searcy Beats & Eats, church, and school events, where we will have "Mocktails" (which essentially are simply healthy soda-flavor-juice combinations). When there aren't events, we will be spreading cheer and sustenance in town. We will be putting a breathalyzer machine out for patrons to use. We are in the middle of copyrighting our business name/logos/trademark(s), and we are getting all of our certifications and licenses. We are here for the people; we bring positivity and ease everywhere we go. We are blessed and want to bless others.
