The North Louisiana Economic Partnership (NLEP) is a non-profit economic development marketing organization promoting the fourteen parishes of North Louisiana as a desirable and profitable business location. The NLEP and its many partners work with both existing companies and prospective employers to encourage incremental capital investment and job creation as a way to build a strong and thriving economy.

Alliance Partners is a network of staff professionals and/or key volunteers from local, parish, or regional organizations involved in economic development across the 14 parishes of North Louisiana. These members have formed an alliance to jointly promote and market North Louisiana. The networking between members of Alliance Partners helps coordinate and direct marketing efforts in an effective and efficient manner.
