The Committee of 100 for Economic Development Inc. was created in 1992 as a private, non-profit, non-partisan, non-governmental organization formed to serve as a catalyst for positive change in government, education and the economy in order to improve the quality of life in Louisiana.
The committee's primary focus is to assist the state in attracting and retaining industry. It supports the Louisiana Economic Development Department and the major regional economic development agencies in the business and industrial recruitment process.
