Derrick Johnson, (Cheneyville); Mayor
President Josh Guillory, Lafayette Consolidated
Government; and Mayor Jan-Scott
Richard, (Scott). All panelists gave insight
into their city resources, current issues,
and accomplishments during their terms,
and answered attendee questions. The
conference ended with an outstanding
motivational speaker, Joseph Prejean.
Prejean is a life coach and author of the
book, “One More Mountain,” a must read
for anyone who thinks that life has given
them challenges they cannot overcome.
The book tells the story of Joseph A.
Prejean, who was born into a large family,
raised in poverty as a foster child, working
from the age of five years-old, and survived unbelievable
circumstances. Every member was moved by his talk.
A gift exchange took place, a spring scholarship was
drawn, and evaluations were filled out. President Yvonne
Lewis closed the conference reminding all that the next
spring conference would be held March 29 – 31, 2023,
when elections will be held for each position on the
board. Location to be determined. The conference was
adjourned.
