Lowery Named to Arkansas Business 40 Under 40

Arkansas Business has named University of Arkansas Clinton School of Public Service graduate JD Lowery to its 2019 40 Under 40 class.

Lowery is the manager of community and economic development for the Arkansas Electric Cooperative Corporation.

“The 40 Under 40 program provides Arkansas Business the opportunity to recognize exceptional professionals under the age of 40 from across the state,” said Mitch Bettis, Arkansas Business’ publisher. “Each of this year’s honorees plays an active role in shaping the state’s business, political and civic landscape. These are the leaders our readers will be reading about for decades to come.”

Previously, he worked for Viridian, a Little Rock-based energy efficiency consulting firm. He also spent more than four years at the Arkansas Economic Development Commission where he served as director of the Arkansas Energy Office.

Former Arkansas Governor Mike Beebe appointed Lowery to the Arkansas Pollution Control and Ecology Commission, the state’s environmental policy-making body. In 2018, he was named to the board of directors of the Southern Economic Development Council (SEDC). He has also served on the boards of the National Rural Economic Developers Association and Arkansas Economic Developers and Chamber Executives.

He holds a LEED AP BD+C (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, Accredited Professional, Building Design and Construction). Lowery is a member of the Little Rock Rotary Club and was a member of Leadership Greater Little Rock Class 31.

In addition to his Master of Public Service from the Clinton School, Lowery earned a bachelor’s degree in journalism from the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville.
