About

The Leadership Slidell Alumni Association was formed in 1991 by graduates of the inaugural class of Leadership Slidell in order to continue the camaraderie and community stewardship experienced throughout their year of leadership development.  During the 2007 - 2008 fiscal year, the Board of Directors voted to rename the organization The Leadership Slidell Northshore Alumni Association (LSNAA).

The purpose of the Leadership Slidell Northshore Alumni Association is to:

- Develop a network of Leadership Slidell / Leadership Northshore program graduates
- Offer support to current class members and alumni of the Leadership Slidell / Leadership Northshore program
- Continue "leadership education" of alumni by featuring speakers on important local, state, and national issues, programs or activities
- Establish a resource pool to assist with community needs and provide our members with opportunities for service

Award Criteria:

The Board of Directors of The Leadership Slidell Northshore Alumni Association established the Distinguished Leadership Award with a resolution in the year 2000, the tenth anniversary of the Leadership Slidell program. The “Pearl Award” for Community Stewardship replaces the Distinguished Leadership Award.

Unlike the original award, which recognized one accomplishment that has greatly enriched the community, the “Pearl Award” for Community Stewardship recognizes individuals who, through their participation in one or more organizations, have made an invaluable contribution to improving our community. They are the very definition of Community Stewards.

​

They are persons who act with integrity, faith, and confidence on behalf of something that has been committed to their care. They have a sense of stewardship of the community and its resources as a living trust to be preserved and enhanced for the future, and, finally, but perhaps most important, their actions are taken with greater consideration for the common good.

 

The criteria for the award are as follows:

1.       Must be a graduate of Leadership Slidell Northshore Association

2.      May not be a recipient of the Distinguished Leadership Award

3.      May not be serving on the Board of Directors of the Leadership Slidell Northshore Alumni Association
