2025 Invest in Louisiana Policy Conference
The Invest in Louisiana Policy Conference is returning to Baton Rouge! Please join us and our partners on September 18 for a day of fellowship and learning about how we can break down racial and economic barriers and create a stronger state economy that works for everyone. The theme for this year’s conference is “Toward Justice for All: Centering Equity in Louisiana’s Policy Future.”
Nationally renowned civil rights attorney, Maya Wiley, will be the keynote speaker at the conference. Civil rights protections in America are under legal and political threat.
