Resilient Louisiana Commission
View Announcement

About the Commission

The Resilient Louisiana Commission is charged with helping chart the state’s path from COVID-19 to a stronger and healthier economy that is more resistant to future disruptions. Our members will make policy recommendations based on input from business leaders, entrepreneurs, policymakers and residents throughout the state in an open, public forum that welcomes all voices.

The 18 commissioners were chosen based on their expertise in the public and private sectors to guide the state through the ongoing aftermath of the pandemic.

The RLC uses a task force structure to examine all aspects of Louisiana’s economy, including each of its critical sectors, to make recommendations for more resilient business-related activities and commerce in the coming months. The commission is preparing a comprehensive response that outlines how businesses can safely reopen and access the resources they need for short- and long-term success.

While the pandemic has dealt a setback for Louisiana businesses, we have an opportunity to rebuild our economy so we’re stronger, healthier and more resilient to future disruptions.

But we can’t do it without you.

Public input is critical to our mission. If you have questions or comments, please contact us at [email protected]

Commission Co-Chairs

Secretary Don Pierson

As Secretary of Louisiana Economic Development, Don Pierson already is on the front lines of our business and economic recovery. He has decades of economic development experience at the local, regional and state levels, having served LED in an executive capacity since his appointment by Gov. Kathleen Blanco more than 15 years ago. Quite simply, he is eminently qualified to guide our business recovery as Louisiana’s leading economic development ambassador; and his comprehensive industry knowledge and global business connections will be invaluable as he guides our economic reset.

Terrie Sterling

Terrie Sterling’s lifelong commitment to healthcare has improved the health and wellbeing of Louisiana overall. For more than two decades, Terrie served in executive roles for the Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady Health System, from chief nursing officer to chief operating officer and executive vice president, completing her experience with the health system by leading the opening of the new Children’s Hospital in Baton Rouge. Sterling now leads a healthcare management consultancy. Sterling is uniquely equipped to guide the re-emergence of a more resilient healthcare system in Louisiana.
