NSPA Conference Bayou Reunion

Baton Rouge Mayor Bobby Simpson welcomed the group, commending it for going ahead with the conference, despite troubled times.

Conference organizer Irene Babin, Louisiana's director of general services, put together an excellent program, aided by NSPA President Jerry Wilson and incoming President Linda Engmann. In addition to numerous educational sessions and member panels, the event featured several authentic Louisiana evening excursions. The group took a boat trip through a bayou swamp, spent an evening in New Orleans and enjoyed an opening reception at Baton Rouge's castle-like Old State Capitol.
