    Local Leaders Discuss State Priorities at Acadia Quarterly Legislative Forum

    Approximately 40 community members and leaders gathered Wednesday, October 30 for the Acadia Quarterly Legislative Forum, hosted by the Acadia Parish Chamber of Commerce and Economic Development. The event featured key insights from Will Green, CEO of the Louisiana Association of Business and Industry (LABI), alongside legislative updates from Senator Bob Hensgens and Representative Chance Henry.

    During the forum, attendees heard updates on crucial issues affecting Louisiana, including tax reform, infrastructure development, and the state’s budget. Both Senator Hensgens and Representative Henry highlighted their commitment to improving constituent services, sharing a collaborative vision to support sustainable growth in Acadia Parish.

    Dr. Nancee Sorenson, Chancellor of Louisiana State University at Eunice (LSUE), opened the forum by welcoming attendees and expressing gratitude for the partnerships with the Chamber and legislative delegation.

    “We are grateful to Will Green, Senator Hensgens, and Representative Henry for bringing their insights and engaging in open discussion on these critical topics,” said Elizabeth Miller, President and CEO of the Acadia Parish Chamber of Commerce. “Forums like this empower our community with the knowledge and tools needed to navigate complex state matters and encourage our members to meaningfully engage with their elected representatives.”

    This event was made possible thanks to the support of our sponsors, Bank of Commerce, Falcon Rice, CLECO, Acadia Parish Police Jury, Shetler Corley Motors, and ESA Solar.

    The Chamber remains dedicated to facilitating discussions that enhance understanding and collaboration between our local businesses, community leaders, and elected officials. We look forward to continued dialogue and collective growth as we advocate for a brighter future for Acadia Parish.
