MEET THE
HUMAN SIDE
OF WHAT’S NEXT.

The Mission Forward 400 is being developed as a media and recognition initiative around Louisiana’s next economy. It is about contribution across the community — from a welding instructor or machinist to a young founder, teacher, engineer, mentor, or plant leader.

The proposed format brings together profiles, interviews, and stories from different industries and communities, with a The 400 Gala envisioned as the celebration at the end of that work: recognition, stories, community, and mission support.

No honorees, selection criteria, awards, gala dates, or venues have been announced. Profiles will be published only after selection and permission.
