“I have been employed by Louisiana One Call since 1990, where I oversee all aspects of membership and coordinate special events and meetings. I arrange lodging and travel, assemble board information and prepare presentations, generate meeting minutes, and produce mailings for company events. In addition, I manage human resources and related corporate policies, process payroll and interact with employee benefit consultants. I also supervise the administrative clerk, arrange computer training for our staff, and send web site updates to our advertising agency.

In 2002, I became Recording Secretary for Southeast Region One Call Systems (SOCS). This organization meets twice a year and is hosted on a rotating basis by the ten regional members: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia. I help the SOCS chairman assemble information for the meetings, and I create PowerPoint presentations and produce the meeting minutes. I also arrange travel and lodging for Louisiana One Call Board Members and Staff who attend these meetings.
In October of 2002, I represented Louisiana One Call for the annual Muscular Dystrophy Association “Lock Up”. The money raised from this event benefits hundreds of families in the Baton Rouge area with neuromuscular disorders. I was able to raise my $1000 bail money. Louisiana One Call tied for 3rd place in this event. This was a very rewarding experience and I was delighted to participate."
