“We are proud to once again provide a forum for Louisiana business leaders to come together and share best practices and solutions to common challenges,” LED Secretary Don Pierson said. “2020 challenged CEO’s with challenges that have never been faced before, and they persevered and succeeded in very innovative ways. The CEO Roundtables Program will allow business leaders to share some of the tactics they developed to remain strong in 2020 and to discover the new solutions generated by their peers. We are proud to be supporting CEOs in their efforts to generate business success and grow jobs through this program. Without question it is a clear demonstration of LED’s strong commitment to the support of small business in Louisiana.”
