She has worked with a number of organizations such as BetaFlix Inc., Farm Bureau’s Ag in the Classroom, LA Gearup, LA-SiGMA, Shell Collaborative, NeuroNEM, Louisiana Tech University, and Keep Lincoln Parish Beautiful Organization, to coordinate education events, fundraisers and provide general public relations and communications support. Lindsay’s resume includes everything from grant writing, government affair communications, curriculum development and correlation, to event coordinating and fundraisers such as 5K runs and sporting clay competitions.

Lindsay has represented north Louisiana’s water interests across the state. She was named a governor appointee to the Louisiana Water Resources Commission in 2016 and maintains the appointment to this day. Lindsay also served as a member of the Louisiana Water Infrastructure Region 1 Steering Committee.

Lindsay resides in rural Dubach with her husband, Joe, and their three sons, Jayden (16), Dallas (10), and Rory (6). They are active and avid outdoors and sports enthusiasts. When football, cross country and baseball aren’t on the schedule, the family enjoys camping and kayaking together.

Lindsay will be introduced Thursday by Lion Rick Buckner, who currently serves as vice chairman of the Sparta Groundwater Commission.
