Military Community Champion

Purpose:  This is a new initiative the Military Relations Committee of the Bossier Chamber of Commerce is implementing within our community.  This program is designed to recognize our organizations that are committed to serving our military, military families and veteran community with meaningful and comprehensive programs in terms of actual outcomes and impact.

This program will be an invaluable resource to our incoming military community to show that our region is committed to not only welcoming service members but also taking care of the needs of their families. Additionally, we want these military members to know that our community is a great place to work, live, play and learn as they decide where to live after leaving the service.

As a Military Community Champion, your business or organization would receive additional recognition through the Bossier Chamber of Commerce and its website as well as earn a designator to add to your storefront windows and website.
