Matthew Picard among 40 emerging leaders across the parish to explore pressing issues in education, health care and more.
New Orleans - DePaul Community Health Centers’ (DCHC) Vice President of Mission Integration, Matthew Picard, recently graduated from the Jefferson Chamber of Commerce’s Leadership Jefferson program. Over the past nine months, Matthew joined more than 40 emerging leaders from across the parish to explore the most pressing issues facing the community—including, education, health care, economic development, state legislation and more.
