The key to the Coalition’s success has been a strong network of grassroots support. Coalition membership has grown to include more than 1,500 individuals and has included numerous organizations, including the American Cancer Society, American Lung Association, American Heart Association, Arkansans for Drug Free Youth and the Arkansas branch of the American Academy of Pediatrics.

The Coalition has been represented on most of the state advisory boards and committees for tobacco control funding and programs. The Coalition also has forged many important relationships with local, state and national organizations, such as the city of Little Rock, the Arkansas Department of Health, the Municipal League of Arkansas and the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids (CTFK).
