Since taking office in 2015, Governor Asa Hutchinson has continued to identify a number of efficiencies and cost-saving measures to streamline state operations and put money back into the pocket of hard-working Arkansans.

In December of 2016, Governor Hutchinson appointed Amy Fecher as Chief Transformation Officer within the Governor’s Office to drive the implementation of these initiatives. In February of 2017, the Governor created the Transformation Advisory Board and asked 15 people in public service and private industry to serve on the board voluntarily to assist the chief transformation officer in evaluating proposals and making recommendations to the Governor on savings opportunities.
