We kicked off our very first Boards & Commissions Fellowship this week 🎉

Fellows got an introduction to each other and to how local boards and commissions actually work—breaking down enabling legislation, member terms, and appointment processes. We also heard from guest speakers who’ve served on boards and commissions and shared what it really looks like in action.

Excited to see this group of leaders from across South Louisiana stepping up to serve their communities!

The nonprofit work happening across Louisiana is critical; your organization doesn’t have to do it alone.
