First Executive Business Forum in St. Tammany Parish a Success

Southeastern’s College of Business recently hosted its first-ever business forum on the Northshore. Held at the Castine Center in Mandeville, the Executive Business Forum was established to bring critical information to the Northshore in the areas of talent, technology, and the economy.

The event featured several speakers, such as Secretary of Louisiana Economic Development Susan Bonnett Bourgeois; Louisiana Insurance Commissioner Tim Temple; Ted Abernathy, managing partner of Economic Leadership, LLC; Kristy Davis, global director of innovation and artificial intelligence strategic consulting at The Channel Company; William Sims of Lightcast; and General Informatics CEO and President Donald Monistere.

Attendees at the forum had the opportunity to network with top executives and emerging leaders in the region. Proceeds from the forum will support programs and scholarships for students in Southeastern’s College of Business and programs for the regional community.

First Guaranty Bank and Argent Trust Company were this year’s catalyst sponsors of the forum. Based on the sold-out attendance, the forum will return next year. Stay tuned for upcoming announcements.
