Assumption Area Chamber updates jurors on events and asks for third‑quarter allocation

Cassie Boudreaux, representing the Assumption Area Chamber of Commerce, updated the Finance Committee and full jury on the Chamber’s recent activities and requested the third‑quarter allocation be released.

Boudreaux said the Chamber continued monthly business spotlights (naming recent participants), organized a backpack and school-supply giveaway, sponsored a music and arts festival, and supported back‑to‑school events in partnership with local jurors. She reported ongoing website and membership‑listing revisions, a board resignation due to work schedule, new members (US Flooring; US Lighting and Interiors; South Louisiana Economic Council), and that a business banquet is scheduled for Feb. 20 with guest speaker Didi Breaux (retired LSU gymnastics coach). The Chamber requested and the jury approved the third‑quarter allocation and accepted the Chamber’s report.

The finance committee also noted it would accept the long‑reach excavator bid contingent on funding, and it approved one employee attending a permitting software conference in New Orleans. The Chamber representative closed by asking for continued cooperation on outreach and sponsorships.
