The Partnership Excellence Award is presented to organizations that have played a pivotal role in supporting and advancing the mission of the Community Empowerment Council. This year, we are honored to present the award to Novel T’s, a company that has been a steadfast partner and supporter of our initiatives.
Founded in 1986 by Kenneth Scott Fisher while he was a student at the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff, Novel T’s has become a leader in the custom ad specialty industry. Alongside his wife Oneita Fisher, who joined the company in 1988, and later his wife Sandra Fisher, Novel T’s has grown into a full-service provider of custom-designed promotional items. Their offerings include screen-printed apparel, custom buttons, embroidery, glass etching, engraving, and unique gifts and souvenirs—many of which are designed and manufactured in-house.
Novel T’s innovative approach to combining wholesale and retail markets has allowed them to offer a wide range of affordable, high-quality products to a variety of customers. Their commitment to customizing items for businesses and organizations has helped countless groups make lasting impressions on their audiences.
From personalized apparel to custom gifts, Novel T’s dedication to quality and service has earned them the reputation of being a key player in the advertising specialty industry. Their consistent partnership with the Community Empowerment Council has had a significant impact on our success, and we are proud to honor them with the 2025 Partnership Excellence Award.
