In this week’s episode, Rex sits down with Stephanie Streett, Executive Director of the Clinton Foundation, to chat about the organization's role in transforming downtown Little Rock over the past two decades. Since opening in 2004, the foundation has helped generate $4.9 billion for the local economy and several cultural, educational, and artistic opportunities in the city.
The two also discuss the center’s future plans and expansions, such as the new Hillary Rodham Clinton Wing of the Clinton Presidential Center, which Stephanie says will feature the largest non-presidential archive in history and a new policy institute to inspire future leaders. Rex also highlights how the Clinton School of Public Service’s expansion into the newly acquired Heifer International campus will help transform Little Rock's East Village into one of the South’s most exciting neighborhoods.
Stephanie also stresses the importance of collaboration between the Clinton Foundation, the National Archives-run Clinton Presidential Library, and the University of Arkansas Clinton School of Public Service in helping to preserving the Clinton archives, while also creating more opportunities for civic and community engagement throughout the state and beyond.
