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
Wingstop and We Don't Stop
What began as a small buffalo-style chicken wing restaurant in Garland, Texas, continues to soar to great heights. Today there are more than 2,000 restaurants open across the globe.
Wingstop quickly became a fan favorite when we first opened our doors in 1994. Our proprietary recipes, outstanding food and superior customer service created a demand that could only be satisfied by more locations. And in 1997 we began offering franchises. Today we are one of the fastest-growing concepts in the country, attracting top entrepreneurs and operators with the drive and passion to own their own business.
Over 20 Years of Flavor
Since setting up shop in '94, we've been putting flavor first. And we're not about to stop. We're all about taking our wings to another level, saucing and tossing the freshest flavors you crave along the way.
Our Mission: To Serve the World Flavor
We're not in the wing business. We're in the flavor business. It's been our mission to serve the world flavor since we first opened shop in '94, and we're just getting started.
1997 saw the opening of our first franchised Wingstop location, and by 2002 we had served the world one billion wings. It's flavor that defines us and has made Wingstop one of the fastest growing brands in the restaurant industry.
Wingstop is the destination when you crave fresh never faked wings, hand-cut seasoned fries and any of our famous sides. For people who demand flavor in everything they do, there's only Wingstop - because it's more than a meal, it's a flavor experience.
