Longtime Arkansas Advocates for Children and Families (AACF) executive director Rich Huddleston will leave his post at the end of 2022, the organization announced Monday (March 14).
Huddleston said he did not know what his next role would be, but he thought the child advocacy group would benefit from new leadership after his 18 years in charge and 27 years with the organization.
AACF was founded in 1977 by a group of prominent Arkansans who believed that children needed an independent force to provide information and education to parents and citizens about our state’s policies toward children and families. The organization provides leadership, research and advocacy to promote wide-ranging reforms to improve the lives of Arkansas’s children.
