THE POWER TO ENGAGE
Being involved in One Acadiana means getting a seat at the proverbial table and having
your voice heard on the issues that matter. Through one-on-one conversations, group
discussions and forums, you spoke, and we heard; business leaders have enjoyed One
Acadiana’s networking and exposure opportunities but wanted more. Armed with
your feedback, One Acadiana developed events and engagement opportunities tailored to
help you make connections, gain exposure, expand resources, and attain knowledge.
Engagement takes many forms and our events are one of the most
directs ways investors and members can engage with us. We are proud to
offer countless opportunities to make connections throughout the year.
