Paul Berry is a campaign director and lobbyist who graduated from the University of Arkansas with a B.A. in History in 1962. After serving as campaign director for U.S. Sen. David Pryor’s re-election campaign in 1984, Berry supported his fellow Arkansan Bill Clinton’s presidential campaign as finance manager in 1992. During that same year, Berry established Berry & Associates, a government consulting and public relations firm which now has offices in Little Rock, Arkansas, Dallas, Texas, and Madison, Mississippi. A longtime supporter and advocate of the Creative Writing Program, and a close friend of both Jim Whitehead and Bill Harrison, Berry played an important role in the growth and continued success of the University of Arkansas’s MFA.
