Jim Stuart to Speak in Fort Smith

Jim Stuart, past president of AAF-FW and past AAF District 10 governor, will be the featured speaker at the July meeting of AAF-Fort Smith, Arkansas. His presentation, "Get it? Got it. Good!" is all about listening, learning, leading and loving - some of what it takes to succeed in the business of ideas.

For 15 years, Jim Stuart was chief executive officer of Stuart Bacon Advertising in Public Relations, the agency he founded with Randy Bacon in 1987, which served a variety of local, regional, national and international clients with full-service advertising and public relations capabilities.

In 1996, Stuart Bacon was named to the Inc. 500 list of America’s fastest growing private companies. The agency was selected 1998 Employer of the Year by the Downtown Fort Worth Rotary Club, 1998 Small Business of the Year by the Fort Worth Chamber of Commerce, and in 2000, named by ADWEEK as one of the largest in the Southwest.

In an interactive presentation and discussion, this veteran adman, agency principal, university instructor and, briefly, Starbucks barista will share with the Fort Smith group some hard-knock wisdom, a handful of how to’s and a few secret recipes for success in creating, communicating and inspiring.
