One Acadiana

One Acadiana is the Lafayette Chamber of Commerce and regional economic development organization serving the nine parish region of Acadiana.

About

One Acadiana is a bolder, re-energized version of the Greater Lafayette Chamber of Commerce. We are a business-led, privately-funded economic development organization serving a nine-parish (county) area in South Louisiana. Our vision is to make our region one of the most sought-after places in the South for emerging businesses and professional talent. We call ourselves One Acadiana because we believe it takes a united region to create the best region. Representing more than 700 businesses and individuals throughout the nine-parish region, we also serve as the central business organization for the city of Lafayette – providing leadership on local issues as well as the services and resources of a traditional chamber of commerce. At One Acadiana, you’ll find a team of passionate, goal-oriented professionals who are working to grow our economy and tackling our most pressing challenges, including business development, public policy, and urban revitalization.
