Third time was indeed a charm, as the American Taekwondo Association's international headquarters was awarded Arkansas Business of the Year during its third trip to the honors banquet in recent years.

Arkansas Business Publishing Group hosted the annual awards dinner on Tuesday, Feb. 26 where nearly 800 business leaders from across the state gathered to celebrate one another's successes. Though ATA has been chosen as a finalist three times in the last four years, this was the first time they had the privilege of going home with the trophy.  Mrs. Sun C. Lee, chairman of the board for ATA was humbled by the announcement. "This was such a special year for our organization with the opening of the H.U. Lee International Gate and Gardens and our accomplishment of changing one million lives through Songahm.  So many people made this possible and I know Eternal Grand Master Lee would be so proud."
