The Chamber SWLA
• Represents regional businesses at the federal, state and local levels of government. Public officials are invited to Southwest Louisiana to see and hear our concerns first-hand, and Chamber representatives go to Washington, D.C. and Baton Rouge to take our message to decision-makers there.
• Provides our membership with networking opportunities such as our monthly Business After Hours functions, roundtables and workshops, and our annual banquet and golf tournament. Members are also encouraged to take an active role in the business community of Southwest Louisiana through our numerous committees and councils dedicated to education, public policy, economic development and membership.
• Markets our membership to our regional business community through our membership guide and our online searchable database. We also market our region to outside investors through our economic development measures associated with the Chamber Foundation and SWLA Economic Development Alliance. The Alliance runs ads and features in several site selection magazines and attends major conventions annually to raise awareness of the Southwest Louisiana region. The Alliance fields inquires about our region and provides information and personalized tours of the region to investors looking to bring business to Southwest Louisiana.
• Produces results through strength in numbers! The old saying about strength in numbers applies to an area’s economic development. An entire region working together has much more leverage than any single city or parish. The Chamber, as part of the Alliance, works to develop our five-parish region as an attractive, powerful force in the South’s economy.
