JONESBORO, Ark.—Hytrol Conveyor Company is proud to announce that Phillip Poston, Chief Development Officer, has been appointed to the Arkansas Research Alliance (ARA) Board of Trustees.

The Arkansas Research Alliance, established in 2008, is an organization dedicated to strengthening the state’s economy through science, technology and talent. Its Board of Trustees is composed of several Arkansas business leaders and the chancellors of Arkansas State University, University of Arkansas, University of Arkansas at Little Rock, University of Arkansas Pine Bluff and University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences.
