Greg Cromer for St. Tammany Parish President

COULD YOU SHARE YOUR JOURNEY?

After graduating from Southeastern and successful stints at Lockheed Martin and Geocent, I earned an LSU MBA. Following a brief retirement, I became a part of the Ochsner team and assumed the position of Slidell’s Mayor in 2018, currently in my second term. I was elected to the Slidell City Council and completed three terms in the Louisiana House.

Mayor Ben Morris’ guidance before, during, and after Katrina, along with fellow officials, shaped my ambition to make a positive impact in St. Tammany. Leadership, citizens, and volunteers are my sources of inspiration. My goal was to give back, leveraging skills and resources I believe God has granted me.

WHAT SHAPES YOUR LEADERSHIP AND TEAM MOTIVATION?

Prioritize honesty and integrity, even when conveying difficult truths, often alleviating tensions with a smile. Delegate appropriately skilled individuals, affording them autonomy. Trust is essential; if lacking, reconsider personnel. When handling employee matters, maintain positivity, displaying confidence in their potential.

WHAT ARE YOUR FUTURE BUSINESS GOALS?

Our primary goals encompass changing community perceptions and shedding the “city of ‘NO’” label. Our daily emphasis lies in nurturing a service-oriented attitude, joyfully aiding and assisting. We aim to collaborate with community investors, supporting their growth and sustainability. Through consistent achievement of these objectives, our intention is to transform external perceptions and unveil our identity as an outstanding place to live, work, and play.
