The office of Fair Share is hosting an informational meeting Feb. 20, 2020, at 10 a.m. in Ballroom C/D at the Shreveport Convention Center. 

The theme is “Go, Grow and Compete: Leveling the Playing Field”.  Organizers ask that all interested in attending the event RSVP with Jeanetta.Scott@shreveportla.gov no later than Jan. 31.  In addition, the Office of Fair Share requests that each attendee include a suggestion about how the department can improve services.

The Office of Fair Share is designed and structured to enhance economic opportunities for small, disadvantaged, women, and minority-owned businesses.  Quinn Eubanks serves as the Director of Fair Share.  He was appointed by Mayor Adrian Perkins in January of 2019.
