Our January Member Luncheon was a great way to kick off 2023!
We are thankful for each member that joined us at the Clarion! Thank you to our presenting sponsor Ochsner Health and our gold sponsor First Guaranty Bank. We’d also like to thank our guest speaker Steve Mellor for motivating and challenging us to not only set goals that will make us uncomfortable but to also find a way to actually stay engaged with the process of achieving those goals.
