MAYOR LANDRIEU ANNOUNCES ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY APPOINTMENTS
NEW ORLEANS - Mayor Mitch Landrieu announced he has appointed two senior officials to help lead the City's efforts to strengthen economic development and create more economic opportunities for New Orleans residents. Landrieu appointed Rebecca Conwell to serve as the Mayor's senior advisor for economic development and Ashleigh Gardere as the Mayor's senior advisor for economic opportunity and director of the City's Network for Economic Opportunity. "Every New Orleanian should have the chance to get a good-paying job so they can provide for themselves and their family," said Mayor Landrieu. "I am proud to announce a new wave of leadership charged with moving our economic development and economic opportunity efforts forward. Rebecca and Ashleigh will help attract more businesses and retail, create more jobs and training opportunities and connect the people of New Orleans to those jobs and opportunities. New Orleans is on a roll and we must continue to double down on that momentum by creating pathways to prosperity for all the people of our great city." As senior advisor for economic development, Rebecca Conwell will be instrumental in strengthening the City's economic development functions. She will work to attract new businesses, manage the City's incentive offerings and continue to work with the New Orleans Business Alliance to manage guidelines that help evaluate requests for public financing. Prior to joining the City of New Orleans, Conwell served as the member-manager of Twenty-Two Ten, L.L.C., a consulting business specializing in government affairs, project creation and execution, issue analysis and management, and grassroots coalition building. Conwell spent 14 years at Tulane University, serving as executive director of state and local governmental affairs, chief of staff for the University president, and interim executive director of the Cowen Institute, a think tank for K-12 education in New Orleans. Conwell has a B.B.A. in Finance from Lamar University. As senior advisor for economic opportunity and director of the Network for Economic Opportunity, Ashleigh Gardere will manage the Office of Workforce Development and the Office of Supplier Diversity, both of which work to connect disadvantaged businesses and residents to opportunities to participate in the city's economic growth. In that capacity, Gardere will also be responsible for the startup, development, implementation and management of productive partnerships among local industries, small businesses, residents, non-profits and City agencies to drive long-term prosperity. In 2014, Mayor Landrieu launched the Mayor's Economic Opportunity Strategy to connect disadvantaged job seekers and businesses to new opportunities. As part of the strategy, he created the Network for Economic Opportunity to implement tactics that help improve access to job training for the most vulnerable jobseekers across the city. Gardere has served as an advisor to Mayor Mitch Landrieu since 2010. In her previous role, Gardere helped develop and implement the Mayor's strategic priorities by administering and overseeing philanthropic special projects and related policy research. She was also responsible for the successful recruitment and alignment of public and private resources to support the Claiborne Corridor Initiative. Prior to joining City of New Orleans, Gardere served as vice president of community relations at Chase Bank for Louisiana. She managed the firm's philanthropic activities and coordinated Chase's community development efforts to support revitalization across the state. During her tenure, Gardere piloted the firm's place-based neighborhood revitalization strategy and demonstrated the power of strong partnerships with community organizations, local and federal government and the private sector. A New Orleans native, Gardere earned a bachelor's degree in metropolitan studies from New York University and a master's degree in public policy from the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University. Since May 2010, the City has welcomed projects that are creating more than 9,100 new permanent, direct jobs, more than $1.2 billion in new capital investment, and millions of dollars in new tax revenues. These include new, completed retail projects such as Costco's first store in Louisiana, two new Walmart stores, Mid-City Market, the Outlet Collection at Riverwalk, Circle Food Store, the Refresh Project including Whole Foods Market, Magnolia Marketplace, and the soon-to-open South Market District as well as new corporate investment such as GE Capital's information technology center of excellence and the return of International Shipholding Corporation's headquarters. Projects like these contributed to a 9.5 percent growth in sales taxes collected in 2013 and a growth rate of seven percent in 2014, yielding an estimated $23 million in new general fund revenues for the City in that time period.

Please join us for dinner at
A Studio in the Woods

Please note that parking is limited, save on gas and carpool with a friend!
This is a potluck, we will provide the main dish but ask that everyone pitch in a little something - drinks, salad, appetizer, dessert...
Please RSVP to [email protected] and let us know what you plan to bring.
Printmaker Pippin Frisbie-Calder will be collaborating with Dr. Tim McLean of Tulane University to create a body of work around wetland microalgae awareness. In a public display their simulated and/or real-time, live projections of phytoplankton and woodcuts will act as large-scale representations of the aquatic micro-organisms of the wetlands and demonstrate their importance (functions and roles) within the larger ecosystem. This project aims to serve as an educational tool, hoping to draw all members of the public, independent of wetland awareness and appreciation, since few people (even among researchers) are aware of and recognize the microbial presence, diversity, beauty, and roles within the waters of the wetlands.
Pippin Frisbie-Calder graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design with honors, specializing in printmaking, after which she traveled the States, then went to Indonesia for a year to participate in an educational program called Darmasiswa. Recent exhibitions include Antenna Gallery "What We Can Do", New Orleans, Lost Love Lounge for two group shows, New Orleans, Gallery II, Newcastle Maine, Via Via Cafe, Yogyakarta, Rumah Seni Eloprogo, Borobudur, Respecta Gallery, Jakarta, The Finest Mother F*ckers, Yogyakarta, Space Gallery, Denver, Risd Invitational Exhibition, Providence, RI and a residancy at AS220, Providence, RI.
Tim McLean received his Ph.D. in Genetics and Molecular Biology from the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill in 2001. He further developed and adapted his molecular expertise to the field of marine ecology during two post-doc experiences, first at the University of Southern California and then at the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Miami. Before assuming his position as Professor of Practice at Tulane University in 2014, he was an assistant professor at the University of Southern Mississippi. His research interests include using relevant 'omics-based technologies and bioinformatics to understand the molecular biology and ecology of a marine dinoflagellate that is responsible for forming harmful algal blooms ('red tides') in the Gulf of Mexico.
