WHAT IS BUSINESS FIRST?

Business First, Women Who Mean Business, is a membership driven organization located in the Acadiana area of Louisiana. Business First is focused on providing professional education and a personal support network where women empower other local business women through exchanging referrals. At this time, Business First allows only one (1) member for each profession.

What We Stand For


Our Purpose, Mission, Vision, and Values have always consisted of one genuine core factor...
WOMEN EMPOWERING WOMEN!

OUR PURPOSE is to support women within our community. This begins within our membership and spreads through our community services which are also based on the needs of local women. 

OUR MISSION is to provide opportunities for our members to connect with one another through networking, education, and mentor-ship while providing a trusted leadership to enhance a woman's professional and personal development. 

OUR VISION is to improve the quality of existing women in business throughout Acadiana and to expand future development of women in business in the Acadiana area. One way we ensure the future of women in business is through our scholarship fund each year.
