The Natchitoches Area Chamber of Commerce wishes to congratulate Southern Scripts on recently being named a Louisiana Economic Development (LED) 2022 Louisiana Growth Leader. Louisiana Growth Leaders are selected by a statewide panel of economic development professionals who evaluate businesses in the LED Growth Network for community involvement and business success. The criteria include growth, strategy, innovation, philanthropy, and leadership. Southern Scripts was one of ten companies to receive the award this year.
“Being acknowledged as an Honored Leader is a testament to all at Southern Scripts,” said LeAnn C. Boyd, Chief Executive Officer and cofounder. “This recognition demonstrates our commitment to one of our core values: strategic growth in all measures. We believe in the value of business growth, personal and professional development, and community enrichment. We appreciate LED programs that aid in the development of Louisiana-based enterprises.”
Created in 2017, the LED Growth Network consists of over 550 companies accounting for nearly $4 billion in annual sales and representing more than 20,000 jobs. Growth Network members are small businesses beyond the startup stage but not yet fully mature. They enter the Growth Network by participating in one or more of the LED’s programs for second-stage firms. Detailed information about the honorees may be found here in Louisiana’s Entrepreneurial Engine 2022.
Applications for the 2023 Louisiana Growth Leaders class and 2023 Legend Award will be accepted from Oct. 1 through Nov. 30, 2022. All LED Growth Network companies are eligible to apply for the Growth Leader award. All Growth Leaders are invited to apply for the Legend award.
