MEET OUR TEAM Amy L. Foreman Publisher EDITORIAL
Welcome to the inaugural issue of Faces and Places, a publication that I am incredibly proud to present to our cherished readers. Over the past three years, our team has brought you the Faces of Greater Baton Rouge, a celebration of the remarkable individuals who make our community vibrant and dynamic. This year, we decided to embark on a new journey, expanding our focus to not only highlight the exceptional faces of our community but also the amazing places that define our local landscape. Faces and Places is a high-value, stand-alone publication crafted with the utmost care and attention to detail. From the beginning, my vision for this magazine was clear: it had to be a keepsake. We’ve spared no effort in ensuring it is printed on the finest quality paper, adorned with stunning design and artwork, making it a piece worthy of gracing your coffee table all year round. Our goal is to create a book that our community eagerly anticipates every year, one that readers will treasure and share with pride. As you delve into this book, I hope you enjoy it as much as we did creating it for you. The dedication and passion of our team are reflected on every page, and we look forward to continuing this tradition annually. Take the time to explore the stories of the wonderful people and places featured within. These individuals and businesses are not just participants in our publication; they are the backbone of our community, the driving force behind our local economy, and the heart of our shared experiences. Our community sponsors, the Baton Rouge Area Chamber and Visit Baton Rouge, have been instrumental in bringing this publication to life. Their support and commitment to our community’s growth and leadership are invaluable. This book would not have been possible without their partnership, and for that, I extend my deepest gratitude. Both the Chamber and Visit Baton Rouge play vital roles in fostering a thriving community, and we are grateful for their unwavering support. Faces and Places is more than a magazine; it is a testament to the spirit of Baton Rouge. It celebrates the people who inspire us, the places that shape us, and the community that unites us. As you read through these pages, I hope you feel a sense of pride in our community and the incredible stories that make it unique. Please read it, keep it, and pass it along. But most importantly, enjoy it as much as we did. This is your book, a reflection of our shared journey, and a celebration of what makes Baton Rouge extraordinary. The Heart of Our Community
