The Arc Caddo-Bossier Leadership Luncheon
Join The Arc Caddo-Bossier on Wednesday, September 9, 2026 at Live! Casino & Hotel for our annual Leadership Luncheon, the event where we get to celebrate the civic leaders, donors, and community members who make everything we do possible.
This year's keynote speaker is Dani Bowman, animator, entrepreneur, and advocate you might recognize from Netflix's Love on the Spectrum. Diagnosed with autism at 3 and nonverbal until age 6, Dani found her voice through animation and never looked back. At 14, she founded DaniMation, a social enterprise that's since taught animation to over 3,500 neurodivergent students. Her story is exactly the kind of "unlimited opportunities" energy this luncheon is all about.
About The Arc Caddo-Bossier:
Our story started back in 1954, when a group of parents decided their kids with disabilities deserved more opportunities, and set out to build them. That belief grew into the organization we are today, serving people of all ages through programs like Frost Industries, the Conly Day Program, our Goldman School and Child Development Centers, Community Homes, GREAT Equine Assisted Services, and more. Seventy plus years later, we're still carrying forward that same mission: building unlimited opportunities for people with disabilities right here in the Caddo-Bossier area.
When: Wednesday, September 9, 2026 | 11:30 AM – 1:00 PM (doors open 11:00 AM)
Where: Live! Casino & Hotel, 711 Live Casino Blvd, Bossier City, LA
