Dear Colleagues, Partners, and Friends,

It is with a mixture of both gratitude and bittersweet emotions that I announce my resignation as Executive Director of the Webster Parish Convention and Visitors Commission. Serving Webster Parish for the past six years has been an incredible honor, and I am immensely proud of what we have achieved together during this time.

One of the most significant highlights of my tenure has been the development and success of the Webster Parish Paddle Trail. This initiative has not only attracted numerous visitors to our beautiful waterways but also showcased the natural splendor of our parish, fostering a greater appreciation for our environment and outdoor activities.

Our outdoor festivals have become a staple of community life and have successfully drawn both locals and visitors to experience the vibrant culture and hospitality that Webster Parish has to offer. These events have strengthened our community bonds and created lasting memories for everyone involved.

Most recently, the Miller Quarters Park Master Plan has been a testament to our collective vision and dedication to creating a space that will serve as a central hub for recreation, leisure, and community gatherings. I am confident that this project will continue to evolve and become a cherished asset for Webster Parish.

I want to express my deepest gratitude for the partnerships and friendships that have developed over the years. The collaborative spirit and commitment to our shared goals have been the driving force behind our successes. It is essential that we continue to work together to build a stronger, more vibrant community for both locals and visitors alike. Your point of contact upon my departure on July 26, 2024 will be Ms. Johnnye Kennon. She can be reached at johnnye@visitwebster.net or 318-377-4240.

Although I am stepping down from my role, I will remain an advocate for Webster Parish and its many wonderful offerings. I have the utmost confidence in the continued growth and prosperity of our community and look forward to seeing the many future achievements that lie ahead.

Thank you all for your support, dedication, and passion. I wish everyone the very best in the season ahead and beyond.

Warmest regards,

Serena  Gray
