The Bossier Chamber recognizes the importance of providing local service men and women with a strong foundation of community support and has an active program of work that supports our military partners. The Bossier Chamber works to ensure the continued growth and prosperity of our military in the Bossier/Shreveport community through many programs and initiatives including community education, support of military awards programs, and hosting semi-annual veteran’s job fairs.
Through these programs we encourage social interaction between the civilian and military community, facilitate communication between the military units and Bossier Chamber members, and focus on strengthening the outside perception of the Bossier Parish area as a desired destination for active duty and reserve military members and their families.
