The Ruston-Lincoln Chamber of Commerce hosted its first Capitol Chats event of the 2025-2026 year on Thursday with Will Green, president and CEO of the Louisiana Association of Business and Industry (LABI), at Squire Creek Country Club in Choudrant.

Green addressed business leaders from Lincoln Parish, providing updates from the November 2024 special legislative session and outlining the Louisiana Association of Business and Industry’s (LABI) priorities for enhancing Louisiana’s business climate.

“We were thrilled to host Will for our first Capitol Chats event of the year,” said Thomas Graham, chairman of the Ruston-Lincoln Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors. “His insights into the upcoming legislative session and LABI’s focus on improving Louisiana’s business environment were incredibly valuable for our members.”

The event featured a presentation from Green followed by a question-and-answer session. Green discussed legislative priorities that have progressed through the legislative process, along with other reforms currently under consideration by lawmakers. Key topics covered during the one-hour program included tax reform, stabilizing the insurance market, and investing in early childhood education and workforce development.

“This event provided a unique opportunity for members of our community to engage directly with a key figure in Louisiana’s business landscape,” said Turnley. “We believe that fostering this kind of dialogue is crucial for strengthening our local economy and ensuring a bright future for Lincoln Parish.”
