Rick Parker is a well-traveled man with an impressive resume by any standards, but his family and faith come first. Living in Colorado in 1985, he met, fell in love, and married his wife Marianne. Together, they have two children—James, and Jennifer, who is married to their son-in-law, Nick Reed. Both Rick and Marianne grew up in military families who moved around the world. Rick's memories of those years are intertwined with the many places they lived and visited. Seeing the Catholic faith practiced in so many different places and cultures remains a highlight for Rick to this day. Rick is a West Point graduate and went on to serve for five years in several places across the globe. After retiring from the army in 1990, Rick moved to Northwest Arkansas and went on to enjoy a 28-year career at Walmart where he continued to travel the world visiting Central and South America, Europe and Africa. As in his military days, Rick also continued to experience and practice his Catholic faith both at home and abroad. These days, Rick enjoys his granddaughter, Caroline, mentoring young people applying to West Point, honoring our fallen service men & women by placing flags on their graves at military cemeteries, volunteering at St. Vincent de Paul Church, as well as supporting the NWA Children's Center.

Our Purpose

It all began with a simple idea. Small and medium-sized businesses rely on information technology just as much as large corporations, and they deserve tech support of the same quality that Fortune 500 companies can afford. This was the founding principle of IntegriTech, a top quality provider of technology solutions that can meet the demands of the tech-driven economy for businesses of all sizes. Technology has become a great equalizer, leveling the playing field and allowing smaller enterprises to compete with flagship companies in the global market. We have over 30 years of experience being the architect of information technology solutions for some of the most successful companies in the Fortune 100, helping them to modernize their network infrastructure and remain competitive in a market where technology is advancing at a breakneck pace.

The founders of IntegriTech wanted to create a different kind of managed service company, combining integrity with our technological proficiency to provide solutions for businesses in all stages of development. The requirements of every business are different even if the underlying systems are largely the same. We listen to what you need to accomplish so that we can not only meet your needs today but can scale and support your company more efficiently as it grows. We resolved to tailor our services to the requirements of small and medium-sized businesses, creating realistic solutions and attainable goals within the budget that they have to work with. To accomplish this mission, we combine our decades of practical experience in the industry with innovations that can maximize productivity and significantly reduce unnecessary costs while upgrading and refining IT infrastructure and operations.

Our Pillars

Total Trust. Trust goes both ways, and when you put your trust in us we protect your data and network integrity as if it was our own.

Integrity Always. Integrity can be defined by what you do when no one is watching. Our goal is for you to never need to worry about your network.

Genuine Care. "Nobody cares how much you know until they know how much you care". Listening to our customer is our greatest responsibility; we seek first to understand.

Centerton Family Eyecare 101 Dawn Dr. Centerton, AR 72719 Phone: (479) 795-1411 The leading provider of quality vision care products and personalized optometric services in Centerton. Dr. Jacob Dufour Dr. Dufour was raised in Rogers, enjoying the culture and outdoor activities offered by Northwest Arkansas. He earned a bachelor's degree in biochemistry at the University of Arkansas and went on to graduate summa cum laude from the Southern College of Optometry in Memphis, TN. His residency training in pediatric vision development and vision rehabilitation was completed in Seattle, WA through Pacific University. He is an active member of the College of Optometrists in Vision Development and the Neuro-Optometric Rehabilitation Association. Dr. Dufour's behavioral approach focuses on visual function in the context of other sensory and motor systems. Outside of clinic Dr. Dufour spends his time at Beaver Lake and enjoying good food, art, and music. Dr. Dufour had many interest growing up, but he finally settled on optometry. "I was very uncertain of what career path I wanted to pursue. I considered working in architecture, marketing, philosophy, and graphic design. Eventually I decided on optometry for its personal interaction and community service," said Dr. Dufour. Interacting with kids is a pleasure for Dr. Dufour. "Some might say I'm a kid at heart. I've always enjoyed working with kids in my church youth group and as a summer camp counselor, so it seemed pretty natural to direct my career toward pediatrics. In the summer of 2013 I began working in a vision therapy clinic and immediately developed a passion for this population. In the case of vision development and pediatrics, I was moved by the influence vision therapy had on my young patients struggling with academics. In working with adults with acquired brain injuries, I gained an appreciation for the debilitating potential of functional vision loss and the joy of helping people return to independence and a normal daily life. In both cases I find that it is in vision therapy and rehabilitation that I am best able to impact the lives of my patients; and as such, I strive to continually improve my care so to provide the best quality of life for my patients." The best is yet to come…. according to Dr. Dufour. "While the field of vision therapy has achieved much in the way of clinical and academic research, there is a vast amount still unknown in the neurophysiology of many common visual disorders. I believe that the most effective treatments for strabismus, amblyopia, and post-traumatic vision syndrome are yet to come, and they are to be found through continued study and research of the neuro-visual system. My hope is to participate in the advancement of the profession through contributing to this research." Dr. Dufour is at our Centerton location Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

Dress For Success Northwest Arkansas Virginia Germann [email protected] http://northwestarkansas.dressforsuccess.org Mission: We empower women to achieve financial independence by providing a network of services, professional attire, and development tools to help them thrive in work and in life. 100 N. Dixieland Road, Suite B8 Rogers, Arkansas 72756 United States of America 479.276.3433 Hours of Operation & Donation Drop-off: Monday, Wednesday, Friday: 9:00 am-5:00pm Tuesday & Thursday: 10:00am-6:00pm First Saturday of the month: 9:00am-11:00am What We Do Our Vision Our vision is a world where women do not live in poverty. We strive for a world where all women are financially independent, are treated with dignity and respect and are directly impacting their lives and those of their families. We aspire to a world that fully harnesses the power of women and recognizes their role in economic sustainability. Our Purpose "we are about much more than simply a new outfit" Our purpose is to offer long-lasting solutions that enable women to break the cycle of poverty. Dress for Success is part of a global movement for change, empowering women to obtain safer and better futures. We provide each client with professional attire to secure employment, but we are about much more than simply a new outfit. Besides physically equipping the client with apparel and accessories, our programs furnish her with a confidence that she carries forever and the knowledge that she can actively define her life, the direction she takes and what success means to her. Our Beliefs Every woman has the right to realize her full potential and achieve financial independence in a more egalitarian world. We believe that with the proper education, tools and action this world is possible. Poverty often affects women the most, and its effects on them and their families can be long-lasting. Therefore, addressing women's needs is central to improving the quality of life for not only that woman but also her family, future generations and her community. In fact, recognizing the significant role of women in economic development is the smart thing to do, as well as being socially and morally right. We believe that achieving gender equality is imperative to developing a sustainable and just world for all, which is possible by acknowledging the crucial role that women play in the world economy. We believe that by building up a woman's agency and knowledge, better synergies between gender equality and economic sustainability are realized, enabling her to generate a long-term impact in both her private and public life. Working Together We are an ever-expanding network of affiliates who work together with referral agencies, volunteers and companies across the world to make a big impact in women's lives. By supporting each other, we can reach a greater number of women and make our vision a reality. Who We Are A network of tremendously dedicated, energetic and generous people make it possible for Dress for Success to fulfill its mission. From the staff and board who build the infrastructure, raise the funds needed to operate and implement our programs to the volunteers who make it possible for us to serve thousands of women annually, our success is truly a team effort. We are grateful that we have so many devoted supporters and look forward to introducing them to each of you. Check back for more information about the women, men and organizations who make it possible for Dress for Success to empower women globally.
