JOHN SMITH CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD 2006 & 2012

It has been my honor and privilege to serve twice as your Chairman; first in 2006 and now this, our 50th Anniversary year. I must say there are many contrasts to those two years - 2006 being a recovery year for both the Chamber and our members, and 2012 being the year the Chamber set a record for total members and at the same time, being named the Louisiana Large Chamber of the Year. That honor could not have been won without the success and dedication of our staff and our growing membership. In reflecting on both years, I am convinced that the recovery from the major disaster of 2005, Hurricane Katrina, laid the cornerstone for the success of your Chamber. During 2006, your Chamber Board and staff worked tirelessly to develop a strategic plan for both the recovery and future sustenance of your Chamber. The strategic plan became a living document that future Boards and Staff religiously follow each year, tweaking it when necessary, to further the Chamber’s primary goals to be relevant to our members and to be “The Voice of Business in East St. Tammany Parish.” Along the way, the Chamber won the Louisiana Small Chamber of the Year in 2009, the National Small Chamber of the Year in 2010, became a 5 Star Chamber in 2011 (one of only 75 in the United States), crossed the threshold of 1,000 members in 2011, and won the Louisiana Large Chamber of the Year in 2012. I’m almost out of breath just writing the last sentence, so I hope you get the same sensation of pride after reading it. None of the success of your Chamber would have occurred without a vigilant Board of Directors, an unequaled Staff and Executive Director, and you, our dedicated members. You have heard me say many times that our Chamber cannot be successful without the active involvement of our members. You continue to set records in attendance at over 250 Chamber annual events, you have made our annual Business Showcase the most successful such event in St. Tammany Parish, and our annual golf tournament is widely known as one of the best in the area. This could not happen without the enthusiasm and dedication of a successful business community that cares about the quality of life in our City and Parish. Thank you for affording me the honor of being your Chairman. I am truly humbled. Oh, and one last time… ABC…Always Buy Chamber.

Most sincerely,

Slidell Dear Citizens, It is my pleasure to serve you and this great city. Over the years, I have been very fortunate to travel around this country representing the great City of Slidell. Over the course of traveling, I always meet people who ask me where I’m from. Here’s what I tell them. I live in a city that has some of the best schools in the state of Louisiana. We have a very low crime rate, thanks to our great, nationally accredited police department.

We live in a city that provides all the amenities of a great metropolitan area, with the shopping, entertainment and benefits that a big city provides.

We live in a city that has 31 beautiful parks and playgrounds, and it’s not unusual to see children playing or ladies out walking and jogging late at night or early in the morning.

We live in a city that’s only 40 minutes away from an international airport, where anyone can fly anywhere around the world. And if aviation is your hobby, Slidell has a full service airport to suit your needs.

We live in a city that when businesses close for the night, they don’t pull down chain link gates across their doors or have bars across their windows. We live in a city with a strong sense of community. People live together and work together. They understand the meaning of quality of life. We live in a city where cultural activities thrive. On any given weekend, there is an abundance of things to do, from free concerts in Heritage Park, art exhibits in area galleries to festivals in Olde Towne. There is always something to do in Slidell. We live in a city that has some of the best food in the world. You want it, we have it.

We live in a city that’s only 40 minutes away from professional sports teams. We live in a city that’s 40 minutes away from the beautiful beaches of the Mississippi Gulf Coast where you can find numerous casinos and the great food and entertainment they provide. Louisiana is a sportsman’s paradise, and Slidell is no exception. We have five fresh water rivers and plenty of bayous in our parish. We have access to one of the largest salt water lakes in the United States, and that lake flows into the Gulf of Mexico, which has some of the best fishing in the country. What more could you ask for? I am proud to call Slidell my home. It truly is the best kept secret in the south. Your mayor,

Freddy Drennan

Pearl River earl River is St Tammany’s “diamond in the rough”, states Pearl River resident and District 8 School Board Member, Peggy Seeley. It is desirably located North of I-12, on I-59 with close access to I-10. Pearl River is a serene, quiet little town. Twenty years ago, people transiting to this area saw a very rural community with few stores and little traffic. Today, Pearl River has a population of 4,000 and hosts national businesses and restaurants, along with the favorite locally owned establishments.

P

The most important ingredient to the success of Pearl River is its people. Pearl River has native citizens whose roots go back over 150 years, and a newer population that relocated to Pearl River in the past seven years since Hurricane Katrina. The newer residents bring their own charm and culture to the Town of Pearl River. They have also played a large part in the economic development of this quaint town. Jubilee Foods is an excellent example; the owners relocated from St. Bernard and brought their business with them. Not all newer residents are from the south. “I moved to Pearl River in 2002 from Dallas, TX and I never looked back. Pearl

River is filled with friendly people who wave at you as you drive by. There’s no need to know who they are, everyone is a friend and neighbor,” states Cheri Carter, C. Marie Consulting. “Just attend Pearl River High School’s annual homecoming and you will be in the friendliest atmosphere possible in a little community. You will have the opportunity to meet friends, neighbors and new people. Pearl River High has the highest graduation rate in the parish. Not surprising, as St. Tammany is one of the top parishes for education in Louisiana. Pearl River is now that ‘diamond community’,” Peggy Seeley concludes. Pearl River has a voice with the East St. Tammany Chamber of Commerce. Upcoming events are advertised and community needs are addressed. The East St. Tammany Chamber is dedicated to assisting and promoting existing and new businesses in the region.

2012 Louisiana Large Chamber of the Year 2010 National Chamber of the Year

Lacombe n e o f th e m o s t o v e r l o o k e d spots to visit and enjoy in St. Tammany Parish is Lacombe! It is not only a tranquil place to live, with many hidden gems to explore, but the people are some of the most gracious you will find anywhere in our great country.

O

Deep rooted in Louisiana history, many Lacombe residents descended from Creole families who have resided here for generations. The culture is rich in traditions like "Les Toussaints les Lumieres du Morte," an All Saints Day event after Halloween for families to clean and decorate graves and light candles at dusk. Lacombe residents believe in honoring their traditions and living life to the fullest and with great meaning. This is a community blessed with people from many walks of life. Lake Pontchartrain and Bayou Lacombe will wet the appetite of any visitor or resident to this amazing area; boating, fishing, and swimming are plentiful. You also have the ability to simply sit on the porch and watch the glorious sunrise or sunset, which are sure to bless all those fortunate enough to bear witness. Lacombe is proud of its small businesses a n d l a r g e i n d u s t r y. W i t h r e n o w n e d restaurants, both small and large, visited by people from all around the region, Lacombe also boasts corporations and many organizations. Lacombe is also

home to hospital facilities like the Louisiana Heart Hospital and other state-of-theart medical complexes with innovative, cutting-edge therapies. Governmental agencies, including the St. Tammany Parish Social Security Administration and the Coroner's Office, serve the entire parish from the heart of Lacombe on Highway 434. And, even more business expansion is planned for the very near future! Churches from various faiths are enjoyed by the many residents of Lacombe. A strong sense of faith and community is the heartbeat of this ever growing township. Do yourself a personal favor - stop in and visit the Lacombe Recreation District 4 and have a picnic at John Davis Park, or plan your next weekend getaway to include the exploration of Lacombe and its many activities. Do not to forget to include the largest festival in St. Tammany Parish in your plans, the Lacombe Crab Festival, held each June. The entertainment, family fun, rides, and genuine home grown atmosphere will leave you wanting more! Lacombe is truly a delight; make plans to spend more time there today, or visit if you have not already realized the Lacombe experience!

East St. Tammany Chamber of CommerceINVESTORS Celebrates 50 Years Happy 50th Anniversary East St. Tammany Chamber of Commerce! “Being a part of such an established business organization and watching it grow during the past ten years has been an amazing adventure. Looking back at the past 50 years, talking to past Presidents and Chairmen, truly shows the voice the Chamber provides for the business community we represent,” says Dawn Sharpe-Brackett, current CEO. The name “Chamber of Commerce” dates back to the 16th Century. The first chamber was organized in 1768 in New York State and today there are nearly 7,000 in the United States. The Slidell Chamber of Commerce was established February 8, 1962 by Gus A. Fritchie, Jr., Lionel G. Pichon, George A. Broom, Michael E. Haas and W.T. Eddins. That first year, the Chamber started with just 22 members and one employee. The Chamber’s office was located in the Tower’s Building, being the “Front Door to the Community.” In 1984, the Chamber moved to 118 West Hall Avenue, where it currently resides, and has five outstanding full-time and one part-time employees. Currently, the Chamber has 13 members who joined in the 1960’s; 13 members who joined in the 1970’s; 72 members who joined 30 years ago; and the current membership is 1,034 investors. Retention is a top priority of the East St. Tammany Chamber. We recognize that membership is the heart of the Chamber and work to provide networking opportunities, education, business support and a loud voice on local, state and federal levels for our members.Dr. Francis, of Slidell Veterinarian Hospital, is one of the oldest members of the Chamber (member since1964). He states,

“The Chamber is the heart and soul of commerce.” Marion B McCarter, owner of Marion B Construction and Marion B Real Estate (member since 1967), was the first woman ever to be elected to the Board of Directors of the Chamber. Her daughter, Lisa B. Simms-Hayles, Marion B Real Estate, gives credit to the Chamber for giving her mother the support and information she needed to grow in the real estate community during her years in business. 1 9 7 6 w a s a v e r y b u s y y e a r. U n d e r President Lynn Barthelemy, the Chamber published “All Roads Lead to Slidell”, a book full of community information, which has evolved today to the Business Connection you’re holding now. The Chamber worked with the City of Slidell in preparation of the Home Rule Charter, authored a city ordinance n a m e d “ S a v e t h e Tr e e s ” , and began the campaign “$hop $uper $lidell” through a committee headed by Dana Prince. In 1978, when George Reine, III was President, the Chamber hosted the first Chamber Trade Fair, which is now the annual Business & Community Showcase. The 1980’s were a decade of growth for the Greater Slidell Area Chamber. In 1981, Mrs. Irma Cry was employed and she stayed with the Chamber for 18 years. The Economic Development Foundation was formed and the dream of an Events Center in East St. Tammany (now the Northshore Harbor Center) was discussed at the year end retreat. 1990 continued with current 22nd District Court Judge, Rick Swartz, Jr. as the President. The Leadership Slidell/ Northshore program was developed. A partnership with Stennis Space Center was established to help save the Naval Research Lab at Stennis. In 1998, President Lydia Alford and Marti Livaudais launched, printed and distributed 10,000 copies of the Slidell Visitor’s Guide to promote Slidell as a great place to live,

work and shop. The first TechSmart Conference was introduced and, during Joe DiGiovanni’s presidential year, the first website and email were established.

In 2007, the Chamber officially changed its name to the East St. Tammany

Chamber of Commerce. Dawn Sharpe-Brackett was appointed by fellow board members as the CEO with the challenge to move the Chamber forward with a Strategic Plan, proving relevance in the business community. The Chamber was accredited by the U.S. Chamber of Com m er c e wit h THRE E Stars in 2005, and then with FIVE Stars in 2011.

Committees have continued to make a difference in the community, including the Ambassadors and the Emerging Young Professionals Group. Membership is over 1,000 with retention at 96%. “Being a part of the community where I grew up and being able to make a difference is a blessing to me. I am honored to represent East St. Tammany and our businesses on a daily basis.

The United States Chamber of Commerce Awards East St. Tammany Chamber with 5 Star Accreditation – TOP HONORS

T

The East St. Tammany Chamber of Commerce has received Five-Star U.S. Accreditation! The United States Chamber of Commerce has the only accreditation program of its kind that defines excellence in chamber planning and recognizes chambers for outstanding contributions toward positive change in their communities. This prestigious honor puts the East St. Tammany Chamber among the top one percent of Chambers nationwide. The U. S. Chamber of Commerce recognizes the East Chamber for its sound policies, effective organizational procedures, and positive impact on the community. “Accreditation validates a chamber as having programs that benefit their local economy and for positively influencing action in their community,” said Raymond P. Towle, IOM, CAE, U.S. Chamber Executive Director of Political Affairs and Federation Relations. “We applaud these organizations for advancing the principles of free enterprise.” The Accreditation is reviewed by the U.S. Chamber every five years. In 2005, when the East Chamber was first accredited, it was awarded three stars. The jump to five stars is an exemplary example of how the Chamber has grown and is continuing to lead business and the community of the region. The Chamber received a perfect score in the Human Resources, Technology, Communications

22

and Facilities sections of the application. Additional special recognitions and remarks included, “The chamber board is commended for its active involvement in the chamber’s operations, including participation in the annual Mid-Year Retreat and the Year-End Retreat to review the strategic plan.” “The chamber does an excellent job of recognizing volunteers for their efforts on behalf of the chamber.” “The chamber is commended for its comprehensive government affairs program focusing on issues at the local, state, and federal levels.” “The chamber is commended for continuing to grow the program that its membership values most, the Annual Business and Community Showcase.” These were all direct comments from the Accreditation team in the final report. “This is an amazing program which sets the higher standard for Chambers of Commerce across the nation. It is an evaluation of the organization, the board of directors, the financial stability, the programs, and every area of the business. People sometimes do not realize that the Chamber is a business. Our membership and non-dues revenue are dependent on our ability to provide quality events for our members to help them promote their businesses. The success of our Chamber shows the devotion this Chamber has for its members. We are very honored to receive this award and to continue to bring success to our region,” said Dawn Sharpe-Brackett, CEO.


Louisiana Association of Chamber of Commerce Executives Large Chamber Of The Year

T

he Louisiana Association of Chamber of Commerce Executives is a membership driven organization formed to unite local executives from across the state to create educational and networking opportunities. In August 2012, the East St. Tammany Chamber was honored to host the Fall State Conference and bring over 100 Chamber executives from around the state to Slidell for this dynamic event. The conference was held in the historic Arcade Theater in Olde Towne. Renown speaker, Glenn Shepard, and U.S. Chamber representatives were in attendance, as well as local motivational speaker, Ryan Lowe (“Get Off Your Attitude”) and Slidell Mayor, Freddy Drennan. Each year, LACCE recognizes three chambers (Small, Mid-Size and Large, depending on dues revenue) as the Louisiana Chamber of the Year. A copy of the chamber’s current fiscal budget, along with Community, Organizational and Professional Development are examined and judged by out-of-state chamber executives. The Chambers recognized this year were the River Region Chamber, the Livingston Chamber and the East St. Tammany Chamber of Commerce.

The Board of Directors of the East St. Ta m m a n y C h a m b e r O f C o m m e r c e believe that through our public policy, governmental affairs relations, education committee, coalitions built with our neighboring chamber in the west, the NBC and neighboring local communities, we play a positive role in community changes and spearhead development in our community. It is with humble acceptance that the East St. Tammany Chamber of Commerce accepted the Louisiana Large Chamber of Year Award at the Fall LACCE Conference furthering our mission to advance the general welfare and prosperity of the region so that its citizens and all areas of its business community shall prosper.

Athena Award 2011

O

On October 19, 2011, the Chamber presented the prestigious ATHENA Leadership Award® to an exemplary leader from our community at the Chamber Athena Luncheon, sponsored by Ochsner North Shore. The ATHENA Leadership Awards® are presented to individuals who have attained and embody the highest level of professional excellence in their business or profession, devote time and energy to improve the quality of life for others in the community and actively assist women in realizing their full leadership potential. The ATHENA Award is named for the mythological goddess of wisdom, and is presented annually to an individual who exemplifies the eight tenets of the Athena leadership model: authentic self, celebration and joy, collaboration, courageous acts, fierce advocacy, giving back, learning and relationships. The Chamber also awarded, for the first time, the ATHENA Young Professional Leadership Award, sponsored by Pontchartrain Investment Management, to honor an emerging female leader who demonstrates excellence, creativity and initiative in her business or profession, provides valuable service to improve the quality of life for others in her community and clearly serves as a role model for young women both personally and professionally. The ATHENA Leadership Award Program is administered by ATHENA International, a non-profit women’s leadership organization, in partnership with licensed host organizations like the East St. Tammany Chamber of Commerce and local sponsors. Over 6000 awards have been presented in over 500 communities in the United States and around the world since the program’s inception in 1982. This year, the 16th recipient of the ATHENA award was Sharron Newton, a retired registered nurse. Sharron is well known for her volunteer efforts on behalf of many charities and organizations, including Leadership Northshore and Rotary International’s Group Study Exchange and Rotaplast programs. Through Rotaplast, Newton has joined Rotaryrelated physicians and registered nurses in performing free cleft lip and palate surgeries on

The Building of our City… Miramon Construction Awarded Economic Development Pioneer The Economic Development Pioneer Award was established to recognize community leaders who have inspired and promoted economic development and growth of our region during the 50 years that the East St. Tammany Chamber has been in existence. This year the honor was presented to Miramon Construction, Louis “Pat” Miramon, Jr. Mr. Pat enlisted in the Navy at age 17 and served in the South Pacific until he was 19, at which time he began an apprenticeship under his father. In 1948, Pat married Gloria Hilda Schindler and they have four daughters. Mr. Pat started building in Slidell in 1954 with Westchester Subdivision, the first subdivision with concrete streets. Mr. Pat was the organizer of the St. Tammany Homebuilders Association and the Slidell Rotary Club. March 6, 1965, Miramon Construction joined the Slidell Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Pat was also on the Slidell Planning Commission for 14 years. In 1978, Miramon Realty was the largest realtor in Slidell. Mr. Pat continues to serve on the National Homebuilders Association and holds a lifetime director position. In 1995, Miramon Construction broke ground on The Bluff’s Subdivision and, four years later, on The Landings. In 2002, he was the first man inducted into the St. Tammany Homebuilders Hall of Fame. Mr. Pat has received over 68 awards and acknowledgments for his community devotion and service. It is with great honor that the East St. Tammany Chamber adds to his awards with the presentation of the Economic Development Pioneer Award for 2012.


2012 - 2013 The Annual Business and Community Showcase is the largest event of its type on the Northshore! Celebrating its 35th year, this event has been hosted by the Chamber since 1978. In 2012, over 150 businesses and organizations were represented under one roof at the Northshore Harbor Center, with approximately 2,500 people in attendance! The promotion of this event is through FREE ADMISSION tickets distributed throughout the community, radio and television advertisements and newspaper articles. The Business and Community Showcase enables the Chamber to bring together the business community and the consumers they serve.

Shop St. Tammany T

he East St. Tammany Chamber of Commerce prides itself on supporting the businesses in our area to help our community prosper, enhancing our quality of life. Our local economy is dependent upon the citizens of St. Tammany spending their money in this region. As the community prospers so does the opportunity for new businesses and industry to move into our area which in turn creates new jobs, improves our residential home sales and provides prospects to move into empty business locations. For every $100 spent at a locally owned business, $45 goes back into the community and our tax base.

St. Tammany Parish offers you a variety of resources to satisfy your needs. From cafés to fine dining, from clothing stores to upscale boutiques, from antique shops to professional art paintings, from spas to health clubs, from auto parts to new automobiles. The list goes on and on. You can find everything you need to satisfy your professional and family needs. Help keep our local economy rolling by spending your hard earned dollars to support the businesses in our area and prove that we are proud of the businesses located here and support “Buy Local”.

By shopping local you get better service. Local businesses often hire people who have a better understanding of the products they’re selling, and take more time to get to know customers. Local businesses also support local community groups on an average of 350% more than non-locally owned businesses, which proves that local businesses are owned by people who live here, work here and are more invested in the our future.

Emerging Young

Pr ofessionals In 2010, to recognize young business leaders in our community, the Chamber introduced Emerging Young Professionals (EYP). Two members, Linda K. Larkin, Marketing Director of Patriot Title, and Kristen Stanley, a local attorney, took the initiative and have exceeded the expectations of the Chamber board. This dynamic group of individuals meets once a month with a quarterly lunch and rotating after hours networking schedules. The group volunteers for various professional and community organizations, such as: Ashlee’s Angels, East St. Tammany Chamber of Commerce, HOYST, Keep Slidell Beautiful, K Bar B and Slidell Ladies for Liberty.

In their first year, they were instrumental in providing over 200 dresses in the “Prom-n-Aid” Campaign, which were distributed to high school kids who could not afford dresses for their senior Prom. For the past two summers, the EYPs headed up a school supply drive which gifted thousands of dollars of paper, pens, pencils, folders, jump drives, etc to local children who are less fortunate. The school supply project will be a continued annual event. At each EYP meeting, you will find a bucket that is used to collect “Coins to Cure Cancer” on behalf of their yearly Relay for Life Team. Their passion at this event each year is evident by this active group of volunteers. Another successful project the EYPs have adopted is the Slidell Ladies for Liberty; assisting in providing care packages for deployed local military personnel during the Holiday seasons. Bringing together the talents and insights of Emerging Young Professionals, ages 21-40, in the East St. Tammany region is what EYP is all about. EYP is simply a network of young professionals – a dynamic and diverse group of peers with a passion for making a difference…a willingness to learn…the desire to build important relationships…and the energy to get involved in the community. If you are interested in becoming an Emerging Young Professional, please contact the Chamber at 985-643-5678 or Linda Larkin at lindalarkin@hotmail.com.

LEADERSHIP NORTHSHORE A s S t . Ta m m a n y g r o w s a n d t h e community becomes more complex and demanding, there is an increasing need to train responsible and informed leaders. LEADERSHIP NORTHSHORE is an innovative program to assist in preparing emerging community leaders for leadership positions in local government, business and community affairs. Currently in its 22nd year, this innovative program increases the awareness of potential leaders through an intense course of seminars and interaction with community decision makers. Leadership Northshore is proud to be a source of qualified and trained leadership for public and private agencies, organizations, planning bodies and commissions. Following an orientation retreat which explores leadership skills, the class attends nine all day sessions, each focusing on a specific aspect of St. Tammany, such as history, state government, education, media, the judicial system, economic development, etc. Sessions include lectures, simulations, group discussions, panel discussions, ďŹ eld trips and community research projects.

In addition to their sessions, the class of 20-28 students is broken down into smaller groups who are responsible for coming together and embracing a project that beneďŹ ts the local community.

2013…

More EXCITING Things to Come! I am excited to be your incoming Chairman of the Board. Ten years ago, when I attended a Chamber event, I remember walking in a room and I did not know anyone. What has changed in the last ten years? One thing - I invested time into the Chamber. I started to develop relationships with Chamber members and developed a network of people who help to sustain my business. Beyond my own business needs, the Chamber has provided me a number of opportunities to serve my community. The Chamber serves over one thousand small and large businesses and over 100,000 citizens. Every member benefits from community support, economic development, and legislative issues addressed by the Chamber on a daily basis. We are blessed to live and work in a prosperous region that is rich in economic development and commerce. Our Chamber is a Five Star Accredited Chamber of Commerce, one of 76 out of 7,000 in the nation, and our Chamber provides over 250 events a year for members to network, learn and share. There is an event for every business and every member.
