Buisness & Leadership: Kathy Lowery
WHO IS KATHY LOWREY?
Kathy Lowrey is a civic and community leader in Slidell whose contributions extend far beyond her role at the Harbor Center. Serving as General Manager since 2008, she has overseen its remarkable success and expansion. In addition to her managerial achievements, Kathy co-founded several community organizations, including the East St. Tammany Business Alliance, the ladies’ Krewe of Antheia, the women’s philanthropic organization Steel Mimosas, and SELF (Slidell Empowering Ladies and Families).

WHAT ARE YOUR GUIDING PRINCIPLES AND MINDSET?
My approach is guided by maintaining integrity, fairness, and respect for everyone. I believe in finding creative solutions to challenges, fostering calm problem-solving. These principles have enabled me to collaborate effectively with diverse groups of people and build strong, talented teams, both at the Harbor Center and in other organizations I have led.
WHAT DOES THE FUTURE LOOK LIKE?
My focus is on overseeing the construction of the Harbor Center’s new 9,000 square feet of meeting space, and ensuring its successful bookings well into the future. I am thrilled to contribute to the continued growth and success of the East St. Tammany Business Alliance and the Krewe of Antheia. Lastly, as an entrepreneur myself, I eagerly anticipate the launch of the Tiny Paws Box through my own business, Grace Promotions, as an exciting endeavor for the future.
