The Louisiana Museum Foundation was pleased to host its Annual Meeting of the Membership on Monday, June 8, generously hosted by Tableau.

The evening provided an opportunity to reflect on the Foundation's accomplishments over the past year, celebrate the impact of our members and supporters, and welcome new members to the Board of Directors as we continue to advance the mission of the Louisiana State Museum and its properties across the state.

We extend our sincere thanks to Tableau for their hospitality and to all who joined us. We look forward to an exciting year ahead—including a special announcement coming soon about this fall's Founders Ball.
