SUMMARY:First Responders Luncheon
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our annual First Responders Luncheon!\nOur First Responders dedicate themselves to protecting and serving our community every day. This fall\, the Chamber is proud to recognize these local heroes at our First Responders Luncheon\, and we’re inviting our members to help make this special event possible. \nThere are three meaningful ways you can get involved: \nBecome a Sponsor\nHelp us honor those who serve our community through an event sponsorship. Sponsorship opportunities are available at $250 and $750\, offering your business visibility while demonstrating your support for our local police officers\, firefighters\, EMS personnel\, dispatchers\, and other first responders. Sponsorship can be reserved on our events page or by simply contacting the chamber! \nWrite a Letter of Appreciation\nA heartfelt note can make a lasting impact. We’re collecting thank-you notes (notecard sized and handwritten) from Chamber members to include in each first responder’s luncheon gift box. Whether it’s a few sentences or a full page\, your words of encouragement and gratitude will help remind our first responders how much they’re appreciated. Our goal is to have more than one personal note per lunch so feel free to contribute up to the full 550 list! Note: We will need these notes no later than September 8th at the Chamber Office for pre-packaging. \nVolunteer to Assemble Gift Boxes\nWe’re looking for a limited number of volunteers to help assemble the appreciation packets and boxed lunches before the event. It’s a great opportunity to serve alongside fellow Chamber members and play a hands-on role in recognizing our community’s heroes. We ask that each volunteer group limit their numbers to less 5 per organization to give as many organizations the opportunity to participate as possible.  Volunteer shifts are from 8:30am-10:30am on September 11th at Ouachita Parish Schools Office. Sign up online at our events page or call the Chamber for details! \n To learn more about the event\, visit our website linked under the website description.

SUMMARY:NELA Teacher Symposium
DESCRIPTION:We’re falling in love with teaching again\, and it shows!\nWe are professional development for the heart! We understand the importance of providing meaningful\, actionable support to educators! Led by the mission to support the St. Christopher Educational Fund\, a 501(c)(3)\, which provides high-impact professional development that prioritizes teacher recruitment\, retention\, and resilience. We foster mental health awareness by building emotional wellness and self-care strategies to make sure teachers have what they need emotionally to continue to execute their job responsibilities. We showcase vendors\, resources\, and opportunities for teachers to draw upon our community experts to bring real-life scenarios into their classrooms to make learning fun and informative. The feedback from our attendees has resulted in shifts of presentations each year to serve the educators who show up for the symposium. Many have shared that their decisions about ‘continuing in the classroom’ were directly impacted by their attendance at the NELA Teacher Symposium. \nThe 2026 NELA Symposium is happening Thursday\, July 16th from 7:30 am to 4:30 pm. The St. Christopher Educational Fund organization was created with the passion of bringing value back to the classroom and ESPECIALLY to the teacher. Our experience in education stretches farther than 3 decades. Our board members are well versed and seasoned in education\, business\, mass communication\, nonprofit organizations\, health care\, construction\, technology\, and marketing. Our growth speaks for itself. We are having to move to a larger venue to accommodate our audience! We’ve reached classrooms in 5 states by empowering 400+ educators and 6\,000+ students in only 3 years! Registration is now open! To register\, click the link provided under the website description.
