A number of Arkansas groups visited the nation’s capital last week.
A contingent from the Conway Chamber of Commerce traveled to Capitol Hill. Members of the Arkansas School Boards Association also stopped by.
The National School Boards Association was having its 2018 Advocacy Institute, which teaches school board members how to “engage policy makers and impact policymaking.” U.S. Sen. John Boozman, a Republican from Rogers and former school board member, addressed the national gathering.

Several Arkansans, including Cross Church Northwest Arkansas Pastor Ronnie Floyd, were on hand for the National Prayer Breakfast and related gatherings. Boozman, who served as co-chairman of last year’s breakfast, said this year’s event was “very, very nice.”
