Mr. Cohen Guidry was invited to speak to four JAG (Jobs for American Graduates) classes at H.L. Bourgeois High School about economic development.  He took the opportunity to address key talking points for the classes.  When asked about his experience, Mr. Guidry stated, “I must say, speaking to these young people for four hours was truly gratifying for me.  I certainly hope that they got as much out of this as I did! It is a great program with an inspirational sponsor and fantastic students.”
