PROGRAM

President-Elect, Stanton Murray led the program by explaining what changes he has planned for upcoming programs.  Some of the programs that he has planned is Philip Rebowe on what is the outlook for next year’s taxes, Charles Rice CEO of Entergy, and Louis Capo with the Levee District.

Lola Lass, ADEETA Corporate Staffing explained that her business is a direct hire placement, temporary placement or temporary to hire placement in mostly administrators and accounting positions.  Lola stated that her business has been steady over the past year, but the industry is up.  She explained that a good lead for her would be companies hiring staffs that have recently moved in from out of the area or a brand new business. 

John Benton, Bayou Tree Service is in the business of planting, preserving, lighting, protecting and pruning trees.  His business can offer you advice on any tree issue or concern.  His ideal client would be large, but he can do small projects.  His business is currently up and one of the take-home advices he has is that he hired an extra person to sit on a computer to search for leads all day and it has paid off.  The extra person has paid for himself with work.

Brain Sublette, Daly-Sublette Landscape Architects informed us of the many areas of landscape design his business offers which is site planning, planting, design, swimming pools, fountains, garden architecture, arbors/pergolas, irrigation/drainage systems and  lighting.  He builds have gone from small backyard projects to bigger resort like builds.  He stated that he is looking for appreciative clients and clients that pay their bills.  He explained that this year has been very hectic and very similar to post Katrina.

The leadership of GNOEA would like to thank Lola Lass, John Benton and Brian Sublette for their programs.

 

RECRUITMENT PROGRAM

GNOEA has begun a new recruitment program which entails searching for a particular open classification each week.  We ask members to focus on one open classification with members giving a company and point of contact.  Bryon Hatrel, Membership Committee Chairman will compose a letter that will be sent out to that prospect with signatures from those members that proposed him.  A follow-up phone call will be made by one of the members that proposed the prospect.  This past week we are seeking an Air Conditioning & Heating and Automotive Dealer.

If you know of someone in these open classifications, please contact Bryon Hatrel at 504-456-9654.  Please make sure that you have the person’s full name, company name and phone numbers for the prospect.
