Chairman’s Message

Stephanie Hebert2015 Board Chair

Stephanie Hebert Insurance Agency

When it comes to moving a community forward, everyone has a role to play. Sure, there are services that we rely on government to provide, such as roads and bridges, public safety, and education for our young people, but government cannot and should not do it all. There are many ways that we, as business people and private citizens, contribute to the wel-fare of our community. The Chamber, for example, works to bring local businesses together to promote issues that concern us all like coastal pro-tection, education, economic development, and health care. And our local nonprofit orga-nizations, many of which are Chamber members, do an ex-traordinary job of serving the unmet needs of our community and our fellow residents with their work in human services, education, and coastal preser-vation. On May 5, all of us in Ter-rebonne Parish will have an op-portunity to support this great work of our nonprofits through an exciting new event known as “GiveNOLA Day for the Bayou Region, or “Give Bayou” for short. Now in its second year, GiveNOLA Day is a 24-hour on-line giving event sponsored by the Greater New Orleans Foun-dation that aims to inspire us to give generously to the nonprof-it organizations that make our

region stronger. Here in Terrebonne and La-fourche Parishes, the Bayou Community Foundation is co-ordinating a local component to GiveNOLA to specifically promote the 40 nonprofit orga-nizations in our Bayou Region that are participating in the May 5 online giving event. Give Bayou will include a “GivingCelebration”onTuesday,May5 from 10:00 am – 2:00 pm at the Bayou Waterlife Museum in downtown Houma sponsored by Terrebonne Parish Consoli-dated Government. Volunteer-prepared lunches will be sold for $5, with all pro-ceeds going to a Lagniappe Fund to be shared by Bayou Region participating nonprofits. Repre-sentatives of the participating nonprofits will also be there to share information about their work with visitors and laptops will be available if visitors want to make online donations to their favorite charities. For a complete list of “Give Bayou” nonprofits and to learn more, I encourage you to visit GiveBayou.org. And if you can’t make it out to the Waterlife Mu-seum for lunch on May 5, log on to GiveNOLA.org between 12:00 a.m. and 11:59 p.m to make your online donation. For as little as $10, everyone can be a philanthropist on GiveNOLA Day! Terrebonne Parish has grown

and prospered over the years because of the unrivaled passion our residents have for our unique parish. There is nothing like our Terrebonne spirit! I urge you to join me on May 5 as we come together as one Ter-rebonne community to demonstrate this great passion and tremendous generos-ity by participating in “Give Bayou!”

“Give Bayou” Supports the Work of Our Local Nonprofits

Two Louisiana highways that I frequently must drive along are Louisiana Highway 311 and Martin Luther King Boulevard. You know as well as I that you take your life in your hands when traveling on these roads. The traffic is heavy during most of the day, and if you can, it’s better to avoid them during morning commute, lunchtime, and afternoon commute. I wish you lots of luck with that! Park and Main aren’t much better. In addition, because of the heavy traffic, these Loui-siana highways begin to show the wear and deterioration of the asphalt re-surfacing very quickly, meaning large cracks and potholes that wreak havoc on our tires and suspension. Former Louisiana Depart-ment of Transportation and De-velopment Secretary, Dr. Kam Movassaghi, Ph.D., P.E., F.ASCE, recently spoke here in Houma at an event co-sponsored by the South Central Planning and Development Commission and Terrebonne Parish. Dr. Movas-saghi presented information on the awful condition Louisiana’s transportation infrastructure is in and offered some solutions. His objectives in providing this

information are to outline Loui-siana’s critical highway trans-portation issues, to offer strate-gies that address these issues, and ultimately start meaningful conversations towards a grade ‘A’ for Louisiana’s infrastruc-ture.In 2012, the American Society of Civil Engineers rated Louisi-ana’s roads a D and our bridges received a D+. Overall, our in-frastructure received a C-. You can learn more at www.asce.org. •62% of Louisiana’s 61,635 miles of roads are in either poor or mediocre condition •Louisiana ranks 41st in the condition of rural interstate pavement •Driving on Louisiana roads costs motorists $1.2 billion a year in extra vehicle repairs and operating costs – $408 per mo-torist •Annual auto insurance cost in Louisiana is the highest in the nation: $1,277 versus the lowest in the country, Iowa, at $630 •Louisiana needs over $12 billion to address the backlog of needs for our roads •Average age of bridges in Louisiana is 34.9 years. Bridges

are normally designed for a life span of 50 years. •29% of Louisiana’s 13,050 bridges are either Structurally Deficient or Functionally Obso-lete •Louisiana needs $2.7 billion to address its Structurally Defi-cient bridges The reasons we are in this situation, according to Dr. Mo-vassaghi, is that we have in-adequate funding at the fed-eral, state, and local levels; the management structure of the Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD); and that local communities are un-able to raise revenue for their transportation needs. To address the funding issue Movassaghi has some inter-esting and sensible proposals. First, replace the current 16 cents fuel Excise Tax with an 8% Sales Tax on all fuels. It would only cost the average driver an additional $3.65 per month. Then give 25% of these rev-enues to local governments for their local and regional highway networks. Next, provide tax in-centives for private investment in major transportation proj-ects, and provide opportunity for local governments to raise

revenue for local transporta-tion projects. Finally, revenues derived from the fuel tax must be restricted to transportation improvement use only. Movassaghi goes on to pro-pose restructuring the DOTD’s management by replacing the Cabinet Structure with a Com-mission, consolidating the nine Districts into seven Regions, and the reclassification and distribution of the highway net-work. To strengthen the commu-nities’ role, Movassaghi sug-gests giving the Metropolitan Planning Organizations more decision-making authority, and having Regional DOTD offices collaborate with rural commu-nities on planning, allocating resources, and the develop-ment of infrastructure. I found Dr. Movassaghi’s pre-sentation interesting and very informative. You may read his complete report and Power-Point presentation on our web-site at www.houmachamber.com.

We are pleased to an-nounce that the bond rat-ing for Terrebonne Parish Consolidated Govern-ment is listed as being the third best rating among Louisiana’s 64 parishes. Standard & Poor’s Rat-ings Service (S&P) has Terrebonne Parish’s bond

rating listed as an AA. This ranks Terrebonne only behind Caddo Parish and St. Martin Parish. Our strong bond rating is the result of the careful management of taxpayer funds as well as our strong economy. A lot of recog-nition goes to our Parish Council and Finance staff for their leadership in en-suring the stable finances of Terrebonne Parish.

Houma earns DistrictCleanestCityAward

We are proud that Houma has been named the Cleanest City among Louisiana cities with a population ranging from 15,000 to 44,999 resi-

dents in our region. In winning this award, Houma will now compete for the state of Louisiana Cleanest City title with other cities having com-parable populations. The date was April 17 for the state level contest; how-ever, the results were not available by this publica-tion deadline. The annual Cleanest City Contest is sponsored by the Louisiana Garden Club Federation with the goal of increasing civic pride and improving the visual appeal of towns and cities in the state. Winning the Cleanest City contest for our region

was truly a team effort. I want to thank everyone involved in making this contest a success as we look forward to winning the state level competi-tion.

Westside BoulevardBridgetobeWidened

In the coming weeks work will get underway to widen the existing bridge that connects Park Avenue and Main Street at Westside Boulevard. The existing bridge was restricted to one-way traffic with the exten-sion of Westside Boule-vard from Main Street to Martin Luther King Bou-levard. Once this project

is completed, the bridge will once again allow two-way traffic. Unfor-tunately this upgrade will require us to close the bridge to all traffic for ap-proximately 6 months. The Westside Boule-vard Bridge is another piece of our long term plan to connect St. Louis Canal Road to LA High-way 311 via this thor-oughfare. Residents will soon see significant progress on the extension of West-side Boulevard from Mar-tin Luther King Boulevard to the Equity Bridge. The construction of the base of the roadway has be-

gun and will require 10 to 12 months to settle. Once the base is fully settled and compacted, work will begin on a four lane roadway with a grass median and a bike/pedestrian lane. A traffic signal will also be added to the intersection of Martin Luther King and Westside Boulevard. Not only will this road allow for improved traffic flow, but it will open large tracts of real estate for future development.

The Marine Diesel Engine Technician program prepares students to diagnose, service, and repair marine diesel en-gines. Students are instructed on how to overhaul engines and their compo-nent systems, repair marine transmis-sion and hydraulic systems, welding, and rigging. Students employed in the maritime industry earn a starting sal-ary ranging from $40,000 - $50,000 and after five years in the workforce, the range increases to $80,000 - $90,000. Chancellor Earl Meador commented, “Because of the maritime industry be-ing one of the strongest economic driv-ers of the state, this program plays a vi-tal role in filling the workforce needs of the region and the State of Louisiana as a whole.”

Terrebonne General Medical Center (TGMC), a nationally recognized healthcare organization, continues to be on the cutting- edge of introduc-ing advanced technology to elevate our patients experience with health-care services. TGMC is providing patients a safe and easy way to access their medical information with a new state- of- the- art patient portal called “TGMC Connect”. “TGMC Connect” is an electronic patient health record that can be obtained by patients to manage and maintain their health in-formation. “TGMC Con-nect” streamlines a pa-tient’s health records, right to their fingertips. Patients will be able to access lab and other di-agnostic test results, as well as manage their list of medications and other aspects of their medical information. TGMC has implement-ed this breakthrough technology to help en-sure that patients have a secure and convenient way to access their medi-cal records. This program allows the patient com-plete control of their medical history. “TGMC Connect” helps support TGMC’s Continuity of Care by making the pa-tient’s health informa-tion accessible. Patients will no longer have to make numerous phone calls or office visits to re-ceive their records; they will be only a click away.

Registering for “TGMC Connect” can be done during patient registra-tion. Patients will pro-vide their email address and be given an informa-tive brochure with step-by-step instructions. There are no fees associ-ated with this exception-al service. TGMC regards health records and infor-mation as exceedingly private. “TGMC Con-nect” is a secure network that requires the use of a login and password and is regulated through the hospital.

“TGMC is taking an ac-tive role to improving the health of our commu-nity by investing in this state-of-the-art technol-ogy that provides our pa-tients the ability to view their medical records safely and conveniently,” said Phyllis Peoples, Pres-ident and CEO. “We en-courage patients to take advantage of this service as we continue to offer the latest modern tech-nology while providing exceptional healthcare at TGMC”

The College of Business Administra-tion and accounting program at Nich-olls State University have undergone a successful accreditation review and received an extension of accreditation by The Association to Advance Colle-giate Schools of Business International (AACSB). AACSB accreditation is the hallmark of excellence in business ed-ucation and has been earned by less than five percent of the world’s busi-ness programs. “AACSB accreditation ensures that we have made a commitment to con-tinuously improving our academic programs in business in order to pro-vide a high-quality, innovative busi-ness education. It is truly a testament to the hard work of our Executive Ad-visory Board and the quality of stu-dents, faculty and staff in the College of Business,” said Dr. Shawn Mauldin, dean of the Nicholls College of Busi-ness Administration. “The message is clear — you can receive a top-notch business education at Nicholls State University.” Offering six undergraduate and two graduate degree programs, the College

of Business Administration is among the most popular areas of academic study at Nicholls. Student enrollment in the Nicholls business program has grown 7.5 percent since spring 2014. In addition to traditional degree offer-ings, the College of Business added an online degree in business administra-tion, which attracted more than 90 students its first year. AACSB accredi-tation, which Nicholls has held since 1983, confirms that the university is delivering accredited degree programs that prepare students for careers re-gionally and globally. “The fact that the Nicholls busi-ness and accounting programs each received reaccreditation without rec-ommendations for improvement is evidence of our dedicated business faculty’s commitment to excellence,” said Dr. Bruce Murphy, president of Nicholls. “Thanks to their efforts, our business graduates receive the high-est quality education and prove it by consistently setting the benchmark as leaders and visionaries in the competi-tive business and accounting fields.”
