Dr. Charlotte Williams, Professor of Public Health and Director of the Center on Community Philanthropy, has been recognized as a Woman to Watch by Little Rock Soirée magazine.
The 2024 Class of Women to Watch recognizes women making an impact in the Little Rock community, whether as leaders, businesswomen, or tireless volunteers.
