Highlights from the 2014 Gala
Nearly 600 members of Northwest Louisiana's business community packed the CenturyLink Center for the Bossier Chamber's 66th Annual Gala. The evening's theme titled "Opening Doors to New Opportunities" was selected to celebrate the Bossier Chamber's successes and highlight the vision of 2014. Bossier Parish is an attractive place to do business and the Chamber challenged investors to take advantage of the economic and business opportunities that await this region in the coming years.   As the community's 'front door' to connection, the Chamber wants to thank our investors for their partnership and looks forward to sharing in your growth in 2014.

Month of the Military Child
The Secretary of Defense Caspar W. Weinberger in l986 designated each April as "The Month of the Military Child".  The month's purpose is to recognize the contribution that the military child makes as their parent or parents serve our nation.  The Bossier community is home to over 2,000 military children ages 4-18.  The life of a military child is filled with unique challenges such as parent deployments and reintegration and frequent moves.  The Bossier Chamber of Commerce and the Military Child Education Coalition are looking for your help to recognize the sacrifices of our military children.
