”I have been employed by Louisiana One Call since 1987. Over the years I have been responsible for membership, marketing, legislative activities and administrative activities. I provide presentations regarding Louisiana One Call’s operations, the dig law and dig safely. I also work with various entities including utility operators, excavators, local political subdivisions and state political subdivisions to spread the word on damage prevention.
My background includes a staff position at the Baton Rouge Chamber of Commerce where I was Director of Governmental Affairs for nine years. I currently sit on various boards and committees, including One Call Systems International and the Common Ground Alliance. I represented the one-call industry on the Common Ground Study’s Best Practices One Call Center Task Team.”
“I have been employed by Louisiana One Call since 1990, where I oversee all aspects of membership and coordinate special events and meetings. I arrange lodging and travel, assemble board information and prepare presentations, generate meeting minutes, and produce mailings for company events. In addition, I manage human resources and related corporate policies, process payroll and interact with employee benefit consultants. I also supervise the administrative clerk, arrange computer training for our staff, and send web site updates to our advertising agency. I am also responsible for contracting building maintenance, janitorial services, and lawn care.
In 2002, I became Recording Secretary for Southeast Region One Call Systems (SOCS). This organization meets twice a year and is hosted on a rotating basis by the ten regional members: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia. I help the SOCS chairman assemble information for the meetings, and I create PowerPoint presentations and produce the meeting minutes. I also arrange travel and lodging for Louisiana One Call Board Members and Staff who attend these meetings.
In October of 2002, I represented Louisiana One Call for the annual Muscular Dystrophy Association “Lock Up”. The money raised from this event benefits hundreds of families in the Baton Rouge area with neuromuscular disorders. I was able to raise my $1000 bail money. Louisiana One Call tied for 3rd place in this event. This was a very rewarding experience and I was delighted to participate."
I'm General Manager of Louisiana One Call. My background includes nearly 30 years of service in the one-call industry and countless presentations on damage prevention. These days my work often takes me across the state to meet contractors, board members and utility company personnel.
My staff is responsible for taking more than 400,000 incoming calls every year, and for transmitting more than a million notifications to Louisiana One Call participating member companies.
I'm president and Board Director for the Louisiana Association of State Utility Councils, and I'm heavily involved with Contractors Awareness Groups, The Pipeline Group, APWA, 911 Planning Committees, Utility Coordinating Councils and the One Call Technology group.
