Community Sustainability

Getting involved in the welfare of our community

The Bossier Chamber represents people who are members of the local community and region, so what happens here is important to us. The Chamber is integrally connected with the development of the whole community, with a focus on the business community but also the quality of life of our residents.

As a newly formed committee of the Bossier Chamber focused on community development, our goal is to pinpoint areas we can improve and build community support for projects in our region.

As a community organization, we seek to engage in quality of life issues that will make where we live a better place to work, play, live and learn, including but not limited to:

  • Infrastructure, including broadband access
  • Education
  • Utilities and resources
  • Greenspace
  • Tourism attractions
  • Waterway projects

How the Bossier Chamber is working to build the community

The Bossier Innovates Foundation is a 501(c)3 of the Bossier Chamber of Commerce. The goal of the foundation is specifically to progress, promote, and enhance the quality of life and overall economic activity within Bossier Parish and the surrounding areas. As the name suggests, this foundation’s goal is to express to the community and the world that the Shreveport-Bossier area and region is full of innovation, development, and growth. 

The Northwest Louisiana Military Support Foundation is a foundation that coordinates community support for our military families within Northwest Louisiana. Our vision is to have a community where military families are celebrated, supported and recognized for their sacrifices. Our current initiatives include honoring children during Month of the Military Child, all of our military in Military May, and specifically military spouses during Military Spouse Appreciation in May as well.

Community Development Institute (CDI) Central in Louisiana is a national program that aims to build the capacity of individuals and communities to positively impact economic and social development. Participants move through the program in a cohort and are exposed to a comprehensive, applied approach to the field of community and economic development. CDI Central in Louisiana is hosted in Bossier City and Directed by Jessica Hemingway, Vice President of the Bossier Chamber.
