An Arkansas State University-Mountain Home benefactor has been named Woman of the Year by the Jonesboro Business and Professional Women.

Dr. Kathy White Loyd, interim dean of the College of Business at Arkansas State University, will be honored at a reception Monday evening. The A-State Office of Diversity and the campus and Jonesboro chapters of the BPW are hosting the reception.

Loyd, who also serves as the executive director of the A-State Women’s Business Leadership Center, was appointed as the interim dean in May. ASU-Mountain Home is the Women’s Business Leadership Center’s second location, opening here earlier this year.

A contributor in the field of information technology and economic development, Loyd’s ties to the Jonesboro region include being a founding partner of Rural Sourcing, a programming company located downtown. She currently serves on the board of directors for Mattel, Inc., (MAT) and is retired from Cardinal Health, Inc., (CAH) as executive vice-president and chief information officer.

Loyd holds an undergraduate degree and MBA from Arkansas State and a doctorate from the University of Memphis.

She is a member of ASU-Mountain Home’s Hall of Honor, recognizing those donors who have contributed $100,000 to $500,000 to the local college.
