From The Chairman:
I would like to take
this opportunity to introduce myself to those of you that may
As I enter into my new term as Chairman of LFMA; I would like to express my thoughts on the greatest group of people that I’ve ever been associated with in any professional organization! LFMA has proven to be important to floodplain management within the State of Louisiana. Flooding is and will always be a major concern for Louisiana so I extend my hardy congratulations to all those who have taken the National Exam to become Certified Floodplain Managers (CFMs). According to the National Association we currently have 156 Certified Floodplain Managers with the State. This step will prove to be very rewarding and will enhance your abilities to serve the citizens in Louisiana. This organization has on many occasions become a life line, i.e., being new to floodplain administration I was able to call upon other members of LFMA and learn how they handled a particular problem which kept me from making the same mistakes or making the problem worse! I extend a heartfelt invitation to anyone out there to come and join LFMA, an organization that will be both rewarding and fulfilling at the same time. We provide two workshops and an annual conference that are excellent places to further your knowledge of floodplain management and also a good place to make lasting friendships. Even if I have to say it myself; the people in LFMA are some of the best professionals you will ever come in contact with anywhere! So with that said let me close with this “Come and Join Us”…….
Sincerely;
