Welcome to the UA Fort Smith College of Business Family Enterprise Center (FEC)!

Our College of Business is focused on serving small businesses in general and family firms in particular. The Family Enterprise Center emerged in response to expressed needs of the business community. FEC not only meshes with the above-mentioned focus but also with our commitment to contribute to regional economic development. The majority of new jobs each year are generated by small business, and family enterprises are the backbone of the economy of our region. As we grow FEC, we hope you will join us by attending our workshops, seminars and speaker series, and by sharing your ideas as to how we may best serve you and your business. As you experience our services, we hope their value will motivate you to become a member of FEC.
