Leadership St. Tammany was created
in 1993 out of recognition that the future of St. Tammany is
tied directly to the quality and voluntary contributions of
its leadership. The program was organized to develop future
leaders who have a clear understanding of the total community
system and are committed to its advancement. Originally the
brainchild of the St. Tammany West Chamber of Commerce, Leadership
St. Tammany is now an independent organization that has strengthened
its program through affiliation with Southeastern Louisiana
University.
