She is also an active community advocate, having served on the Board of Directors of many non-profit organizations. In 1998, she was recognized by Arkansas Business magazine as one of the Top 100 Women in Arkansas. Justice Tuck was inducted into the Arkansas Women’s Hall of Fame in August 2018. On September 15, 2022, Justice Tuck was included in the inaugural class for induction into the Arkansas Bar Association’s Legal Hall of Fame.
The emcee for the evening will be the Founder of Arkansas Fashion School, Jamileh Kamran. For over 60 years, Jamileh Kamran, owner of Jamileh Kamran Designs, has dedicated her career to fashion. She has made a name for herself locally and nationwide along the way. Kamran’s philosophy, “You cannot find two persons alike,” is evident in her approach to each design. In September of 2007, Jamileh Kamran wrote two books, The Art of Couture and The Art of Decoration. Shortly after that, Kamran opened the first School of Fashion in Arkansas, the Jamileh Kamran School of Fashion, now known as Arkansas Fashion School. Since then, Kamran has trained and mentored students from all walks of life to be successful fashion designers and create jobs for themselves and others.
Arkansas Fashion School has such amazing help from all of our sponsors and volunteers from Hocott’s Garden Center and Paul Mitchell the School – Little Rock.
