It's and incredibly exciting time to be a part of the HiTech Family

It’s an incredibly exciting time to be part of the HiTech family. Being named a Louisiana Growth Leader is more than just an award — it’s a meaningful recognition of the work our team pours into every client, every project, and every community we serve. This honor, presented by the Louisiana Growth Network and LED, highlights businesses making a real, positive impact on our state’s economy and future. It’s not just about growth — it’s about leadership, innovation, culture, and giving back. We’re proud to be recognized among Louisiana’s most forward-thinking companies, and grateful to be part of a network that celebrates the values we live by every day.

Louisiana Growth Leaders is an important recognition program of the Louisiana Growth Network.  The honor is a testament that the company and its leadership are making important contributions that positively impact our state and economy.  A diverse panel of judges – comprised of economic development professionals – evaluate applications based upon select criteria determined by LED.  About much more than just growth, applicants are assessed on leadership, innovation, strategy, culture, and philanthropy, among other factors.

Richard Raue, our CEO says this about doing business in Louisiana,

“What we love most about doing business in Louisiana is the people. Relationships here still carry weight—your word means something, and integrity matters. Louisiana is where a handshake still feels like a contract, and where honoring the past goes hand-in-hand with building the future. It’s a culture of connection, service, and resilience—and HiTech is proud to grow right here.”

We’re incredibly proud of this moment, not just for the recognition, but for what it represents. Being named a Louisiana Growth Leader validates the vision and values that drive us — integrity, innovation, service, and community. It shines a light on the dedication of our entire team and the deep-rooted relationships we’ve built throughout the state.

As we continue to grow, we remain committed to leading with purpose and creating lasting impact — for our clients, our people, and the state we’re proud to call home. There’s never been a more exciting time to be part of the HiTech family, and we’re just getting started.
