Political Quotes

“Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Barry McKuin. Barry is stepping down from his responsibilities after 15 years of service to the Winthrop Rockefeller Institute as an original board member and advocate for this important nonprofit organization. Mr. McKuin first served as the CFO of Winrock Farms after Governor Winthrop Rockefeller passed away in 1973, and his involvement only grew from there. He was heavily involved in the Conway County Economic Development Corporation and served as its president. Barry has always put his community, the town of Morrilton, on the map by involving the town in the Uncommon Communities Program, which promotes local community and economic development. Lisenne Rockefeller, Institute board member, said, ``Barry saw the big picture, focused on the future, and kept others on track.'' Mr. McKuin's service to the nonprofit and community are greatly appreciated. Congratulations on his successful tenure at the Winthrop Rockefeller Institute, and we wish Barry McKuin success in years to come. Recognizing Mary Newsome”
