Ashley Pointer, Zone 1


Ashley Pointer

Ashley Pointer has lived in Northwest Arkansas since 2013, when she and her family relocated from Texas. She has been the owner of Card My Yard NWA, a small business that specializes in yard sign rentals for celebratory occasions, since 2019 and serves on the Parent–Teacher Organization of each school that her five children attend.

Ashley graduated from Baylor University with a BA in English and earned her MEd in Curriculum and Instruction from Texas A&M. She was an 8th grade English and dyslexia teacher for 5 years before becoming an Academic Interventionist/504 Coordinator and Testing Coordinator. She then took a break from her professional career to stay at home full-time and raise her kids, which she considers her most rewarding job.
Ashley and her husband, Lucas Pointer, have been married for 18 years and live in Bentonville. Ashley, a proud native Texan, was finally convinced by Lucas to move to God's country after their 3 sons were born. One of Ashley's favorite things about the Natural State is that there are four true seasons here in NWA.
Ashley and Lucas have five kids—Caleb, Luke, Samuel, Lucy, and Elizabeth—and currently 20+ pets (too numerous for an accurate headcount!). The entire Pointer family loves spending time outdoors and is heavily involved in Bentonville Public Schools and their church home, First Baptist Rogers. In her (very rare) free time, Ashley can be found reading a book, working on a puzzle, or playing board games.
Ashley maintains the heart of an educator and considers herself a lifelong learner. She is excited to serve the community as a NWACC trustee. Ashley was appointed by Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders in June 2025 to fill a vacancy, and her term expires in January 2027.
