This week, we joined the Governor Jeff Landry and industry leaders at Port Fourchon to celebrate Shell’s Mars platform surpassing 1 billion barrels of oil produced in the Gulf. This remarkable achievement highlights the strength of Louisiana’s energy industry, the skilled workforce behind it, and the infrastructure that helps power our state and nation! The event also included the signing of several energy-related bills, underscoring Louisiana’s continued focus on supporting growth, investment, and energy production. Congratulations and great work to everyone who played a role in reaching this important milestone!

Many factors, including access to healthcare, income, education, and lifestyle shape long-term health outcomes.

In Louisiana’s industrial corridor, data shows that life expectancy is higher than in areas without the same level of industrial activity. This reflects the broader impact of stable jobs, access to employer-sponsored healthcare, and stronger local economies.

Industry plays a role in supporting these conditions by providing high-quality jobs, benefits, and investments that help communities thrive.

This is not about one single factor. It is about the full picture of what drives healthier, more stable communities.

Last week, we had the opportunity to take part in the TCC/LCA Texas Louisiana EHS Seminar & Industry Tradeshow in Galveston. It was great to see so many of our members there and to spend time with industry professionals, hear new perspectives, and take part in conversations focused on environmental, health, and safety priorities.

The event featured some outstanding keynote speakers, informative sessions, and valuable discussions that kept attendees engaged throughout the week. One of the best parts was the opportunity to connect with colleagues from across Louisiana and Texas and share ideas and best practices.

A special thank you to the Texas Chemistry Council for another outstanding event and bringing together so many professionals committed to safety and environmental stewardship.

LCA strongly supports Louisiana House Bill 807! Rep. Ken Brass is doing outstanding work with this legislation to establish the Workforce Instructor Capacity Investment Program. This smart investment will expand instructor capacity in our community and technical colleges, helping train more Louisianans for high-paying jobs in growing industries like manufacturing and construction. With major projects underway in our state, this bill ensures our workforce is ready to seize these opportunities. Thank you, Rep. Brass, for your vision and leadership in building a stronger Louisiana!

Brian Landry(LCA) and Chancellor Quentin Taylor (RPCC) enjoyed testifying in support of HB807 in Senate Education Committee today.
