Thank you for your partnership in the Greater Shreveport Chamber of Commerce.  For almost a century, your Chamber has been the primary catalyst for economic development in our greater regional community.  The Chamber is your key advocate for business, industry and community issues.  From assisting business professionals in making the right connections to tapping resources necessary for a business to succeed, we’ve been at the forefront of progress and your voice of experience.

Our economy has never been stronger or more diversified. Throughout the past decade, we’ve experienced many proud moments and some of these you will find highlighted in our 2008 Business Desk Reference & Newcomer’s Guide. We understand the needs and work to protect your interests through our strong relationships and dedicated professional staff.  It is no surprise that our region has led the State of Louisiana in job growth over the past several years. We are on a fast track and in step with our regional partners to keep our momentum going.  

We currently represent 1900 Chamber members and 92,000 employees in Northwest Louisiana—this is a privilege that we take seriously and a commitment that we honor everyday.   Think of the Chamber as a department of your business staffed with professional people, just like you and me, working diligently to promote and protect your business.   We’re on a mission that boils down to one thing—prosperity for all who choose to live and work in the Greater Shreveport community. 

It’s PEOPLE who make things happen!  It’s WORKING TOGETHER that make things happen!  It’s the ACTION that makes things happen!  When PEOPLE WORK TOGETHER they can generate ACTION and THINGS WILL HAPPEN!  We look forward to working with you toward a prosperous 2008!

Sincerely,

MARKEY W. PIERRE’
