The Amite Chamber of Commerce was proud to be part of Tuesday’s luncheon hosted by the Tangipahoa Chamber of Commerce featuring U.S. Senator John Kennedy at Southeastern Louisiana University.
With more than 500 business and community leaders in the room, it was a great afternoon of conversation, connection, and getting to spend time with so many of the people who help make our region such a strong place to live and do business.
One of the best parts of being a Chamber is having the opportunity to show up for our community and for the communities surrounding us. We’re always happy to support events that bring local businesses, leaders, and organizations together, and we were honored to support the Tangipahoa Chamber and be part of such a memorable luncheon.
The Amite Chamber and Town of Amity was well represented, with Amite City Mayor Walter Daniels III, Executive Assistant to the Mayor Vince LaBarbera, Board Members Bridget Gaines Keyser, Ali Leto Roberts, Naila Hernandez, Justin Hebert, and Chamber Manager Trina Stafford, all in attendance.
We were also happy to share our table with Angela Travis Ballard, Tangipahoa Parish Justice of the Peace- Ward 4, and Evan Wilkinson, Building Inspector with Tangipahoa Parish Government.
Senator Kennedy brought his trademark humor and plenty of memorable one-liners, but also shared his perspective on the issues facing Louisiana and our country. It was a great opportunity to listen, ask questions, and be part of the conversation.
A full room, a lot of familiar faces, and some great conversations made for a wonderful afternoon.
Thank you to the Tangipahoa Chamber of Commerce for welcoming us and putting together such a great event. We’re proud to support our fellow chambers and to continue building relationships that strengthen our entire region.
