MARCH 2025: MEN IN BUSINESS & MEDICAL EXPERTS
There’s been a whiff of spring in the air recently. You can always tell that warmer weather is just around the corner. With Mardi Gras season behind us, we can look forward to a gently slow down in activity. Unless you’re
into planes. If you are, then buckle your seat belt ‘cuz it’s airshow time in the Arklatex, folks! Time to celebrate Barksdale Air Force Base with the biggest display of aerial power in the south. The 2025 Defenders of Liberty Airshow promises to be spectacular and best of all – it is free. What’s more, if you are a teacher or a first responder, you can get in early and get the best parking.
We have a huge offering in this issue. We’ve cast our spotlight on some of Shreveport-Bossier’s successful businessmen. You’ll enjoy reading their back stories and how they’ve navigated the business world.
We’ve also tapped some of this area’s medical professionals for the opportunity for them to share with our readers their areas of expertise.
There’s lots to read in this issue – hope you enjoy.
