Bossier Chamber will host Salute to Community Heroes awards
BOSSIER PARISH, La. (KTAL/KMSS)—The Bossier Chamber of Commerce will recognize community heroes at an upcoming awards program.
The chamber will host its annual Salute Community Heroes award to honor individuals who have gone above and beyond to help others and make a difference in northwest Louisiana. Anyone in the community can nominate finalists, and a panel of judges will select six winners.
President/CEO of the Bossier Chamber of Commerce, Lisa Johnson, explains how this ceremony grew from the former Patriot Awards program to encompass other sectors that make an impact.
'It was during the time of Covid that we realized that we have other heroes out there that we don't ever recognize and talk about. Such as our health care industry, our educators, and grocery store truck drivers. This is really the opportunity to think about everybody who is giving back and is a hero in our community,' Johnson said.
The Saluting of Community Heroes will take place May 15 at 8 a.m. inside Margaritaville. Louisiana Supreme Court Associate Justice Jay McCallum will be the keynote speaker.
Tickets and sponsorships are available on the Bossier Chamber's website.
