Mayor Greg Hines talks resilience after tornado strikes Rogers, Ark.

Mayor Greg Hines on the Community Catalysts Podcast.

Greg Hines

Mayor of Rogers, AR

I invited Greg Hines on our weekly podcast because I wanted to learn about his record of steady leadership over 14 years as Mayor of Rogers, Arkansas, home to the Daisy Airgun Museum, the last working stop on the Arkansas and Missouri Railroad, and America’s first Walmart store.


But I had to rewrite my question list after one of the largest tornadoes in state history struck the city on May 30. I can’t say how grateful I am that Mayor Hines was able to keep our interview date and talk about crisis response and long-term resilience.
