AR Association of Asian Businesses Hosts 8th Annual Luncheon in Hot Springs.
The Arkansas Association of Asian Businesses is pleased to host its eighth annual “East Meets West Arkansas Lunar New Year Luncheon” Saturday, February 21, at the DoubleTree Hotel in Hot Springs.
Highlights include a keynote from Arkansas Commerce Secretary Hugh McDonald and remarks from honored guest Longhua Xu of Hot Springs, an internationally renowned sculptor and artist. Guests will also experience Chanoyu, a presentation of a Japanese tea ceremony.
This Lunar New Year is the “Year of the Horse,” which symbolizes ambition, progress, and transformation. In that spirit, a new direction for the AAAB will be announced at the luncheon.
“The East Meets West Luncheon is more than a celebration; it is a catalyst for economic growth,” said Executive Director Jayesh Ramnani. “By bringing this landmark event to Hot Springs and unveiling our new strategic vision, we are sending a clear message: Arkansas is open for global business, and our Asian business community is a vital driver of that success. Our philosophy is simple—when Arkansas grows, we all grow.”
The capstone of the luncheon will be the presentation of the four finalists and the winner of the second annual AAAB Business of the Year Awards.
The luncheon is open to the public. Tickets and more information can be found at arkasianbiz.com. Discounted ticket prices for early registration will be available until 11:59 PM, February 3.
