Active Voice for Regional Industry.

The SCIA office is located in the Whitney Bank Building in downtown Houma, LA, 7910 Main Street, Suite 416, and serves as the primary location for committee and special meetings. Office hours are 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

The monthly general membership meetings are held on the third Tuesday of every month at the Quality Inn of Houma. The meetings are a great place to network during fellowship time, with about 200 people in attendance each month. Fellowship begins at 11:00 with the meeting beginning promptly at 11:45 a.m. and ending at 1:00 p.m. Lunch is $15.00 per person, payable at the door with cash or credit card. Registration is required through the SCIA office for all meetings.

The December meeting is held at The Cypress Columns and serves as a tribute to our military forces, elected officials and other special guests. It is also a time for giving and sharing as we collect toys and financial contributions for The Bunkhouse, a regional homeless shelter.
