Shaneil Ealy, associate vice president of the University of Central Arkansas Division of Outreach and Community Engagement, was honored by the Conway Area Chamber of Commerce as Outstanding Woman in Nonprofit.
The award was presented at the chamber’s ninth annual Women in Business Awards on Tuesday, Dec. 8 at Reynolds Performance Hall.
Ealy devotes much of her free time to several local organizations such as the Conway Area Youth Leadership Institute, UCA Women’s Leadership Network, Conway Downtown Partnership, Conway Area Chamber of Commerce’s Minority Business Task Force, Conway Public Schools Foundation and others. Through her work, Ealy was recognized with the award for her commitment to advocating for others, connecting people with resources and like-minded mentors, elevating the student experience and investing in her community.
Although the coronavirus pandemic halted plans for a ceremony this year, three Pueblo County High School alumni have been named to the school’s Hall of Fame and will be honored during a formal induction banquet slated for October.
The recipients of the 2020 Golden Hornet Award are Sam Brown Jr., Constance (Genova) Miketa and the late John Musso.
Brown, a Pueblo native, was a member of Pueblo County’s first graduating class in 1955. He went on to operate several small businesses, including Mountain States Sheet Metal, which he founded at the age of 29 in 1966 with partner Art Gonzales.
Brown believed in giving back to the community and supported 4-H, Future Farmers of America and many other organizations.
