The Northwestern State University Office of Economic Development, Natchitoches Area Chamber of Commerce, and Natchitoches Economic Development Alliance (NEDA) have partnered to launch a community-wide survey aimed at better understanding the experiences, challenges, and goals of our local business-minded residents.
Whether you’re running a full-time business, managing a side hustle, or just starting to dream up your next big idea—we believe your voice matters.
This short, five-minute survey is designed to gather valuable insights that will directly shape future programs, resources, and support systems for those building or growing businesses in the Natchitoches and surrounding areas. Your feedback will help us better understand what’s working, what’s not, and what’s needed to strengthen our local business ecosystem.
“Our community is full of talented, motivated individuals pursuing all kinds of business ideas and ventures,” said Jill Leo, Associate Director of Innovation at Northwestern State University. “This survey gives us a chance to listen—to understand what’s going well, where there are gaps, and how we can better support their success.”
To participate in the survey, simply click the link provided or scan the QR code within the graphic provided using your smartphone camera. The survey is mobile-friendly and takes only about five minutes to complete. Your responses are confidential and will directly help guide future resources, programs, and support for local business efforts in Natchitoches.
