Adrienne LaFrance-Wells, downtown Main Street Director for the City of West Monroe, has been selected to participate in Leadership Louisiana, a year-long, nationally recognized leadership development program presented by the Council for a Better Louisiana (CABL). The program enhances state leaders’ capacity to expand the potential of their communities and Louisiana as a whole.

Participants will attend six two-day sessions held across Louisiana that will focus on education and workforce training, economy and strategies for growth, history and politics, news media, criminal justice, arts and culture, criminal justice, and health care and poverty.

“I am honored to have been chosen for this learning opportunity to further develop my skills alongside an impressive group of individuals who are making a difference in our state,” said LaFrance-Wells.

“We are extremely proud of the work Adrienne has done in our community and believe she will make an excellent participant in Leadership Louisiana,” said West Monroe Mayor Staci Mitchell. “As an alumna of Leadership Louisiana, I know the value of this program and the benefit it provides for connecting leaders across our state and affecting real change in our communities.”
