Mrs. Louisiana United States 2009: March 2010

About Mrs. LA United States 2009

A proud native of Louisiana’s Cajun Country, Anne Katherine met her husband, Jackson, on the playground of their elementary school. Though not yet a parent, she has 1200 “kids” to guide, encourage, and sometimes reprimand as the Director of Student Life at a college in New Orleans. She is committed to expanding her daily work of motivating students to become active citizens and leaders through service learning and volunteerism.

Anne Katherine holds an M.Ed. in University Administration and is undertaking doctoral studies in Organizational Psychology. She serves on an education advisory board and is active in several organizations including Habitat for Humanity, Catholic Charities of Greater New Orleans, Cystic Fibrosis Foundation of Louisiana, and Kiwanis International.

When not working with students or serving her community, Anne Katherine enjoys traveling, singing in the car, guiding her Fantasy Football team to the playoffs, and spending autumn Sunday afternoons in the Superdome cheering on the Saints with her husband.

Louisiana Association of Fairs & Festivals Queen of Queens

I had the opportunity to return to the Louisiana Association of Fairs & Festivals convention as a former LAFF Queen of Queens (1997). As a volunteer working with the 84 young ladies representing their organizations & home towns, I am proud to say that Louisiana has an incredible group of young ladies traveling & promoting its heritage, culture, traditions, and industries. Congratulations to Courtney, the LA Cattle Festival Queen and the newly crowned 2010 LAFF Queen of Queens!
