Strong communities are built when people, investment, strategy, and opportunity move together.
That belief is at the heart of Third Eye Network’s work, and it is why we’re excited our President & CEO, Dr. Lomax R. Campbell, will deliver the closing keynote at The Diamond in the Bluff Summit, September 16–18 in Pine Bluff, Arkansas. Hosted by Pine Bluff Downtown Development.

The keynote will focus on TEN’s work with organizations and communities across the country to strengthen entrepreneurial ecosystems, advance economic development, build collaborative infrastructure, and turn shared priorities into action.

For us, entrepreneurial ecosystem building is about more than bringing people into the same room. It is about strengthening the relationships, resources, and systems that allow communities to move opportunity forward together.

That makes Pine Bluff’s conversation especially meaningful: recognizing the assets already present, aligning investment around possibility, and building the partnerships needed to shape what comes next.

What does it really take to build a business designed to last?

Third Eye Network President & CEO and Ecosystem Builder Dr. Lomax R. Campbell joins host Alena Conley for a conversation about the ideas, experiences, and values that have shaped TEN over more than two decades.

From a chance partnership that grew into a 20-year consulting career to intentionally building a multifaceted, network-driven consultancy, Dr. Campbell shares why TEN has resisted the pressure to “niche down” and instead built a model rooted in Pan-African values, cooperative economics, academic rigor, and collective expertise.

The conversation also explores how TEN is evolving its business model by combining project-based consulting with subscription-based Growth Partnerships, creating more consistent capacity for clients while strengthening the agency’s resilience against unpredictable grant and contract cycles. That direction reflects TEN’s broader strategy to diversify revenue and expand long-term managed service relationships.
Dr. Campbell also reflects on what the SmartCEO™ Accelerator sharpened for him even after decades in business and makes the case that building generational wealth requires thinking beyond self-employment toward scale, shared opportunity, and infrastructure that can grow beyond one person.

Because meaningful work was never meant to be done alone.

Investing in Opportunity. Shaping the Future.

Third Eye Network is proud to share that our President & CEO, Dr. Lomax R. Campbell, will deliver the closing keynote at The Diamond in the Bluff Summit, September 16–18 in Pine Bluff, Arkansas. Hosted by Pine Bluff Downtown Development.

Over three days, regional and national leaders will come together around investment, redevelopment, entrepreneurship, heritage tourism, and the strategic partnerships shaping what comes next for Pine Bluff.

As the summit’s closing speaker, Dr. Campbell will help bring those conversations together with a forward-looking message focused on moving from opportunity to action and carrying the momentum of the summit beyond the room.

We’re looking forward to being part of a gathering grounded in a belief we share deeply: meaningful economic and community development happens when people, resources, ideas, and investment come together around a shared future.

What happens when ecosystem building moves beyond connecting programs and starts connecting capital?

Third Eye Network President & CEO Dr. Lomax R. Campbell will join Joseph W. Williams, Managing Director, The Community Foundation Mission Investments Company (TCFMIC) at the 2nd Annual Inclusive Growth Summit for:

From Entrepreneurial Ecosystem to Community Capital: Lessons from Greater New Haven’s Journey to a Statewide Investment Strategy

During this Track 3: NextGen Ecosystems in Action session, they’ll share lessons from Greater New Haven’s entrepreneurial ecosystem journey, including how stronger governance, relationships, shared infrastructure, and coordinated support created the foundation for a broader conversation about community capital and community wealth.

Some work is too important for disconnected support.

TEN works as an extension of your team, helping strengthen the systems, communications, and implementation capacity behind your mission.

Because meaningful work needs structure, care, and follow-through.
