    EXCEL’S 28th Class Begins Their Year

    By Elizabeth Miller | Leadership Excel | Comments are Closed | 26 January, 2023 | 0

    The Leadership EXCEL program kicked off their 28th class in a different way this year! The advisory board made the bold decision to kick off the year with Emergenetics, and it did not disappoint. The session started with an orientation of the program by Chuck LeJeune, Chairman and Megan Duhon, Acadia Parish Chamber President/CEO. Leadership EXCEL Alumni, Ronnie Petree, gave the class a History of Leadership EXCEL and it was just the positivity needed to kick off a great year! The Advisory Board would like to thank to the following 2023 Sponsors: First National Bank of Louisiana, Bank of Commerce, Acadia St. Landry Hospital, Acadia Parish Farm Bureau – Suzy Webb, Acadia Parish Police Jury, Elder Outreach, Bryan Comeaux – South Central Insurance, Platinum Realty – Michael Doughty, and Rayne Building + Loan.

    Harold Suire, President of ERI Services and facilitator for the session welcomed the class. Suire is a University of Louisiana at Lafayette graduate with degrees and certifications in English, Special Education, Administration, Psychology & Counseling. He is one of four master certified Emergenetics associates worldwide and has presented Emergenetics across the world for over 25 years.

    Prior to the session, the Leadership EXCEL class completed the Emergenetics profile survey. Through a series of questions, this survey identifies a person’s thinking & behavioral traits, and is used to create a personal profile. The day was focused on understanding the four thinking attributes and the three behavioral attributes each person exhibits. Through group activities, class discussion and detailed profiles, the participants were given great insight into thinking and behavioral preferences and how to use them to better work with others.

    Leadership EXCEL stands for Experience in Community, Enterprise and Leadership. The program is designed to prepare emerging leaders to meet the future leadership needs of our community. Through the exchange of viewpoints and experiences, participants are exposed to the challenges, opportunities, and vital issues affecting Acadia and Jeff Davis parishes. Leadership EXCEL is a program of the Acadia and Jeff Davis Chambers of Commerce.
