Walton, Dillard, Stephens discuss third generation Arkansas at LR Rotary

Third-generation heirs of three of the state’s biggest businesses spoke with the Rotary Club of Little Rock Tuesday to discuss the future of Arkansas. Steuart Walton of Walmart, Annemarie Dillard Jazic of Dillards, and John Stephens of Stephens Inc. all moved away from Arkansas, but told the audience they decided to move back and all seemed pleased with their decisions.

Walton said his reason for moving back to the state was wanting to create an impact and help improve his home state.

“The communities that outperform are inevitably communities where resources are being reinvested,” he said.
