The ASU Mid-South office was established in 2021 with Jack Poff Jr. as director to provide professional assistance to startup and existing business in Crittenden, Cross, Lee, St. Francis, and Woodruff counties. This location operates as a regional office of the ASBTDC statewide network. Poff, a REALTOR since 2005, has first-hand small business experience and a history of community involvement with the West Memphis Chamber of Commerce, Main Street West Memphis, and festival and city economic development committees.
