RESET Louisiana is a collaboration of three non-partisan statewide organizations of Louisiana citizens dedicated to the state’s future. River Region Chamber of Commerce has partnered in this effort and shares RESET’s commitment to a brighter future for our state and for future generations.

The Committee of 100 for Economic Development, the Council for A Better Louisiana and the Public Affairs Research Council have been at the center of research and analysis that have led to policies that have improved Louisiana. For decades, their research findings have led to improvements in state government providing a better climate for commerce and jobs.

C-100, CABL and PAR know the value that local and regional organizations play in the bigger picture to bring positive change to all of Louisiana. That’s why RESET is a truly statewide effort, partnering with chambers of commerce and economic development organizations in every area of the state.

The time is right for a new reset in Louisiana. C-100, CABL and PAR, along with local and regional organizations, have formally joined together for the first time to initiate an agenda for positive change for Louisiana.

RESET Louisiana’s Future is a targeted, non-partisan effort focused on four essential issue areas:

  1. State Finances

  2. Education

  3. Transportation Infrastructure

  4. Criminal Justice/Public Safety

Targeting these four critical issues, RESET is a renewed vision and a well-researched effort to make Louisiana everything it can be. We make progress when we work together. RESET Louisiana partners include:
