“Northeast Arkansas is fortunate to have such an exceptional and talented young professional with a passion for serving our part of the state,” former state legislator and Clay County native Rep. Joe Jett said. “I believe the whole state will benefit from Lindsey’s leadership, and she will be a voice for rural Arkansas on the Council.”
Wingo recently served on the Jonesboro Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors and currently serves on the Rector Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors, St. Bernards Advocate Board of Directors, CASA Board of Directors and volunteers with other various organizations.
A “Leadership Jonesboro” graduate and currently appointed by Gov. Hutchinson to participate in the Delta Leadership Executive Academy, Wingo is an Arkansas State University alumnus with a BS in Strategic Communication, Public Relations, and a minor in Entrepreneurship.
