Dear Friends,

The year 2022 was a great year for OCD Louisiana! To start, our small nonprofit would like to offer sincere thanks to outgoing board members for their hard work and leadership through the year, including Caitlin Bussey, BS of Lafayette (outgoing Secretary), Chance McNeely, MPA of Baton Rouge (outgoing Treasurer), and Ashley Royerre Talley, MS, CCC-SLP of Slidell (outgoing Board Member-at-Large). A huge thanks goes to our volunteers who are continuing to serve the organization, including Michele N. Carroll, PsyD of Houma who is continuing in her role as Vice-President and Ashley Rush, MA of Lafayette who is transitioning into her new role as Secretary.

2021 ANNUAL REPORT

Dear Friends,

Towards the end of 2020, four members of OCD Louisiana’s Board of Directors passed the torch along to new volunteers, resulting in a leadership team bringing us into 2021 with a wider range of perspectives on mental health and who represent additional regions of Louisiana. Our outgoing members, all based in the Greater New Orleans region, tirelessly worked with us from the very beginning and were each essential in bringing OCD Louisiana to fruition. We’d like to extend our deep appreciation to outgoing members Leslie C Higgins, PsyD (Vice President), Melissa Dufrene, PsyD (Secretary), Suzanne Chabaud, PhD (Board Member-at-Large), and Gail F Pesses, MSW, LCSW (Board Member-at-Large). Michele N Carroll, PsyD, who will move from her position as Treasurer to Vice President, and I (continuing in the role of President) are happy to welcome new members Caitlin Bussey, BS of Lafayette (Secretary), Chance McNeely of Baton Rouge (Treasurer), Ashley Rush, MA of Lafayette (Board Member-at-Large), and Ashley Royerre Talley, MS, CCC-SLP of Slidell (Board Member-at-Large), to the Board of Directors of OCD Louisiana.
