| The J. Pat Beaird Memorial Industry of the Year Award recognizes a corporate entity from the Greater Shreveport area for their outstanding business achievements. The award itself honors the memory of J. Pat Beaird, Sr., whose lifetime of community service helped to make Shreveport and the State of Louisiana a better place to live and work. The criteria for the award are the same as those Pat Beaird himself sought to promote: real dollar expansion, community involvement, and the creation of new jobs. Businesses qualifying for the award must also represent an industry that employs a large personnel. To nominate a business for the award, please complete the form below.
You may nominate more than one business, however, please complete one form for each nominee. Nominee(s) will be notified of their nomination and asked to submit more detailed information.
