National Executive Committee
2017 - 2018
Carol Smith
Unit 29 Siloam Springs
Serving as an Alternate Delegate, Carol attended the 2014 National Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina by attending the Children & Youth, Girls Nation, Junior Activities, and Child Welfare meetings. In addition, she served as a
Convention Delegate representing the Department of Arkansas at the 2015 National Convention in Baltimore, Maryland at pre-convention meetings for Americanism, Education, and Community Service.
Carol’s innate leadership skills proved to be helpful during her two, three-year terms as President of the Utah Ogden Women’s Bowling Association (a non-profit organization of more than 3700 members). Her leadership resulted in all of the 25 Board members becoming more active and taking ownership of the Association’s programs, rather than leaving the actions and decisions to just a few of the Board members. She was also an avid bowler, finishing 11th in singles play at the National Tournament held in Charlotte, North Carolina in 2007. She also enjoys playing golf.
Prior to her husband J.W.’s retirement and move to Siloam Springs, Arkansas, she owned and operated ‘Just For Pets,’ a successful retail, pet grooming and boarding business, and she was also responsible for accounts payable-receivable for her husband’s business, Double ‘S’ Enterprises, Inc.
Carol has been married to her husband J.W. for 52 years. They have two children and six grandchildren, and are active members of Saint Mary’s Catholic Church in Siloam Springs, Arkansas.
