The June Board meeting will on Thursday, June 5, 2003 at 5:30 p.m. at the Lamar building.

Joe Cullota introduced our speaker, Don Powers with the Baton Rouge Chamber of Commerce. Don said a study indicated that the nine parishes in the Baton Rouge metropolitan area support the local economy. As a result, the Chamber has created a joint marketing approach for the entire nine-parish area, targeted to eight different business clusters: agriculture and food; energy and petrochemicals; environmental technologies and security; forest products; health care and biomedical; information and technology; transportation and logistics; and visitors, arts and entertainment.
