DUAL MEMBERSHIP
 
Jim Hudson, Executive Vice-President, Chairman Southeast Region of Iberiabank is currently going through our membership process.  Tom Tappan and Jim Hudson are both with Iberiabank and are applying for our first Dual Membership.  Dual Membership will give them both membership with each paying dues, but they will be sharing the attendance requirements.  Jim has attended two meetings, but still needs to attend one more before the board of directors will take a vote.  If you see him at a meeting, please take a moment to introduce yourself.   
 
 
TODAY’S PROGRAM

 

Today we were pleased to have as our speaker, Hank Tatje, Argote, Derbes, Graham, Shuffield & Tatje.  For over 25 years, Hank has been active in real estate appraisal.  He has worked on various types of properties, including single and multi-family residential, commercial, industrial, and vacant land as well as many special-purpose properties and consulting assignments.  Hank, while having extensive expertise in and around New Orleans, has particular expertise in the River Parishes located between New Orleans and Baton Rouge, including St. James, St. John the Baptist, and St. Charles parishes.  Hank’s extensive background has qualified him as an expert witness in the field of real estate appraisals. He has testified in both state and federal courts on a variety of appraisals.

Hank informed our members on where he felt the real estate market was currently heading, what type of property they should invest in and where the down turn would likely head.
 
We wish to thank Hank for a very informative program!
