No BIG Luncheon on July 13
The regularly scheduled July 13 Bayou Industrial Group luncheon date has been cancelled as we continue to make your health and safety our priority.
We are eager, however, to announce the resumption of in-person monthly luncheons as soon as that is possible.
In the meantime, the BIG Board of Directors appreciates that your membership investment in BIG includes an expectation of monthly luncheons. President Lori LeBlanc and Board members are exploring options to provide value to you, our treasured members, for the luncheons we have lost due to COVID-19. We also continue to provide you with other important news and resources during this time.
We miss you and can’t wait to see everyone again! Until then, please social distance, wear your mask, and take care of yourself and your family!
BIG Supports Lawsuit Reform Legislation
Bayou Industrial Group joined 20 other parish, regional and state organizations in issuing a letter of support today for SB 359, authored by Sen. Bob Hensgens (R-Abbeville). The bill keeps the state’s focus on enforcing state permits and ensures that 100% of any funds recovered under the enforcement guidelines of Louisiana’s State and Local Coastal Resources Management Act (SLCRMA) are spent directly on coastal restoration and hurricane protection as the Louisiana Legislature originally intended.
BIG Webinar April 29 on Oil/Gas Advocacy and State Budget
Bayou Industrial Group WEBINAR
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 29, 2020
11:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.
Join Bayou Industrial Group for a virtual meeting on two critical issues facing our region and our state during this difficult time: our offshore oil and gas industry at risk and the impacts of the economic downturn on the FY 2021 Louisiana State Budget.
We’ll learn about advocacy efforts underway to help our offshore industry survive this crisis and how the Legislature is working diligently to develop a revenue and spending plan for the next fiscal year during so much uncertainty.
Guest speakers: Lori LeBlanc, LMOGA Vice President and BIG President; and Rep. Jerome Zeringue, Chair of the House Appropriations Committee
