Leadership Livingston Class of 2017 was announced in July. The annual Meet & Greet for the class was planned for August 15, 2016 and the opening retreat for the class was planned for the following weekend.
The weekend of August 13th brought more rain and flooded a large portion of Livingston Parish.
Once the chamber stabilized operations, they were able to reach out to the class to gage their interest and ability to participate in the class. The overwhelming response was YES. Killian Chief of Police Dennis Hill welcomed the opportunity to move forward. His home flooded but his efforts remained focused on his community as he spearheaded rescue efforts.
"Everyone was so excited to hear we were moving forward. We only lost one participant from the original announced class. As of now, we are only one month behind and will be able to catch up easily. This year will offer unique opportunities to hear from the presenters on not only their typical role, but also their role in the disaster. " April Wehrs, Leadership Livingston facilitator.
