Alexandria, LA (11/26/2023) – In a reward for their and the university’s commitment to the people and businesses in this community, Two LSUA Leaders received awards at the 11th Annual Bizzy Awards sponsored by the Central Louisiana Regional Chamber of Commerce.
Chancellor Paul Coreil won the Red River Bank Entrepreneur of the Year award! Entrepreneurship and the spirit of what that means and what that brings to a community cannot be understated. Chancellor Coreil has created avenues and made the way for entrepreneurs to explore their dreams and pursue their passions at the same time.
Connie Cooper, Chief Diversity Officer and Director of DEI, was awarded the Proctor & Gamble Equality and Inclusion award. Proctor and Gamble has created and set the standards for what workplace equality and inclusion look like. Ms. Cooper’s leadership as the director of DEI at LSUA shows how the leading education institution in our community is also leading the efforts to bring up the standards for equality and inclusion in our community. Her energy and outreach in the community lead by example.
Having Proctor and Gamble, a standard bearer for Equality and Inclusiveness, recognize her, shows that LSUA and Ms. Cooper know what it is going to take to bring the best out of our community and the people who work and live in it.
Congratulations to Dr. Coreil for his vision and leadership. Congratulations to Ms. Connie Cooper for being recognized by P&G as a worldwide leader in equality and inclusion in its workforce, partners, brands, and communities.
