ULI Northwest Arkansas would like to welcome its newest team member, Rikki Manen. Rikki holds a Broadcast Journalism degree from the University of Arkansas and is currently working through a MS degree in Design Innovation & Thinking. She comes to us from the non-profit world specializing in development, with a strong history in community outreach, marketing, and event production. Rikki is an author/writer, small business owner, and most importantly, mother to an extraordinary kid.

“Rikki is going to be a major asset to our growing organization. She brings to our team a wealth of experience in non-profit development, communications, and programming, and maintains meaningful professional relationships throughout the region. With Rikki on board, we are better positioned than ever to deliver the Urban Land Institute mission here in NWA.” -Wes Craiglow, ULI NWA
