"We are here to recognize these great companies that were able to scale into their respective markets, generate jobs, and contribute to the economy," explained Clayton White, President of Entrepreneurs' Organization Louisiana Chapter.

Kirby, responded, "365 Connect is truly honored to be inducted into this exclusive group of innovative high-growth companies that are making a difference in our community.
