Broussard continues to grow as a place where businesses, families, and community leaders can thrive, and investing in the people behind that growth is an important part of building a strong future.
This September, women from across Broussard and the Acadiana region will come together for Strong Women. Healthy Futures., a half-day Women in Business Conference focused on wellness, connection, and empowering women to build healthier futures both personally and professionally.
The conference will take place Thursday, September 10, 2026, from 7:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at the Broussard Event Center.
This year’s keynote speaker is Keesha Buteau, founder of Beacon of Light. The event will provide an opportunity for local professionals, entrepreneurs, business owners, and community leaders to connect while focusing on an important part of long-term success: the health and well-being of the women helping drive our community forward.
Supporting the Women Behind Broussard’s Growth
Women play an essential role in Broussard’s business community. From entrepreneurs and executives to healthcare professionals, educators, small business owners, and community leaders, women are helping shape the continued economic growth and quality of life we see throughout our city.
At Broussard Economic Development Corporation, we recognize that economic development is about more than attracting new businesses and creating jobs. It is also about strengthening the community and supporting the people who make that growth possible.
Events like Strong Women. Healthy Futures. create opportunities for women to step away from their daily responsibilities, make meaningful professional connections, gain new perspectives, and invest in themselves.
When the people behind our businesses are stronger, our businesses are stronger. And when our businesses thrive, Broussard thrives.
