Our Values

Social and economic justice is our highest value.
This value is advanced through respect for human dignity; embracing diversity and inclusiveness; empowerment; and a political process which is inclusive, fair and transparent.

Our Vision

Arkansas is a place where an enlightened and empowered population ensures that the economic, social and political resources are managed to serve the public good and the state’s natural environment is respected and nurtured.

Our Mission

Arkansas Public Policy Panel is a statewide organization dedicated to achieving social and economic justice by organizing citizen groups around the state, educating and supporting them to be more effective and powerful, and linking them with one another in coalitions and networks. The Panel seeks to bring balance to the public policy process in Arkansas.
