The Little Rock REALTORS® Association welcomed its 2026 executive committee and board of directors during its general membership meeting last month at Chenal Country Club. 

Jon Kennon was named 2026 President and handed his gavel from 2025 President Conley Golden. 

“With his vision, dedication, and passion for our REALTOR® community, we are confident that Jon will lead this association to new heights this year, guiding our members with integrity, collaboration, and a focus on growth,” read a statement from the LRRA.

Conley’s leadership, commitment, and unwavering dedication have strengthened our association in countless ways, leaving a lasting impact on our members and community. Her guidance, encouragement, and tireless work have set a strong foundation for the year ahead, and we are so grateful for her continued support as she passes the gavel to Jon.”

“A special thank you to Velda Lueders, NAR Region 9 Vice President, for joining us to install our 2026 Board and for celebrating this exciting transition.”
