Description
Join us over lunch on Wednesday, May 27 for a program designed to connect you directly with the organizations supporting entrepreneurs and small businesses across the region.
Featuring Ryan Devillier (Louisiana Small Business Development Center at UL Lafayette), Corey Jack (Jack & Associates), and Jonathan Shirley (Louisiana Entrepreneurship & Economic Development (LEED) Center), this conversation will offer an inside look at how these organizations work alongside businesses every day, sharing real insight into when to engage, how to navigate available support, and what it actually looks like to leverage these resources effectively.
Small businesses are a driving force behind Acadiana’s economy, and knowing where to turn can make all the difference. Whether you're launching or looking to grow, you’ll leave with a clearer understanding of how to leverage these local partners to move your business forward.
