EDDIE L.
ARMSTRONG

Hi, I'm Eddie Armstrong, a dynamic and accomplished individual with a passion for making a positive impact on society. Currently serving as the CEO of Maple & Orange, a public affairs firm, I bring decades of experience in transformative leadership, government, and advocacy to the forefront.

​

My journey encompasses serving as a House Minority Leader in the Arkansas General Assembly, advocating for the legalization of adult-use cannabis, and breaking barriers in leadership. As the first African-American House Minority Leader since the Reconstruction era, I've been recognized for my pioneering efforts. My experiences extend beyond politics, where I've shared tables with influential personalities, learned the value of diverse connections for positive change, and made notable contributions to various publications.

With a dedication to preventing juvenile delinquency, I actively serve on boards, committees, and foundations dedicated to uplifting communities. A proud native of North Little Rock and graduate of North Little Rock High School, I also served as the student body president at the University of Arkansas, continuing my journey of leadership and advocacy. Prepare to be inspired as I bring my exceptional storytelling skills and powerful message to your event, leaving a lasting impact on all who have the privilege of experiencing my remarkable journey.
