Southeastern College of Business to host Executive Business Forum

Southeastern Louisiana University’s College of Business will host its third Executive Business Forum in St. Tammany Parish. The event is designed to bring critical information to the Northshore in the areas of talent, healthcare, and the economy.

The forum is scheduled Thursday, April 16, from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., at the Castine Center in Mandeville, located at 63350 Pelican Dr. A networking cocktail reception will immediately follow the forum.

“Our Executive Business Forum is designed for decision makers on the Northshore with information our business leaders need to navigate in the future,” said College of Business Dean Tará Lopez. “Our presenters will take national business issues and tailor the information for Northshore businesses. The attendees will leave well-informed and energized with solutions-focused information needed to plan for the future.”

Forum speakers include Senior Vice President of Employer Engagement and Executive Director of Strada Institute for the Future of Work Heather McKay; Leadership Speaker, Author, and Former NFL Coach Daron K. Roberts; Head of Strategy and Growth, Public Sector Lightcast Josh Wright; President and Chief Executive Officer of United Way of Southeast Louisiana Michael Williamson; Secretary of Louisiana Economic Development Susan Bonnett Bourgeois; Secretary of Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development Glenn Ledet, Jr.; Secretary of the Louisiana Workforce Commission Susana “Susie” Schowen; President and Chief Executive Officer of Greater New Orleans, Inc. Michael Hecht; and more to be announced.

Since sponsor tables sold out last year, companies are encouraged to reserve tables now.

First Guaranty Bank and North Oaks Health System are this year’s catalyst sponsors. Sponsors and attendees will have exclusive opportunities for companies and organizations to showcase their products and services; increase visibility with executives in the region; develop and nurture professional relationships; and support the talent development in the Southeastern College of Business.
