Hutchinson also serves as an independent member of the Board of Directors of Fortress International Group (FIGI) and Saflink (SFLK).

Asa resides in Little Rock, Arkansas and continues to be involved in politics.  He is a former state Chairman of the Arkansas GOP and continues to be a voice for change in the state.
