Providing Community Service for Louisiana Hurricane Victims

Ms. Matthews is committed to providing support for community programs such as America Speaks. She has provided facilitation services to assist communities in articulating the highest needs for rebuilding the lives of Louisiana citizens still struggling with the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, Rita, Ike and Gustav. America Speaks forums have set agendas to; communicate recovery priorities to federal, state and local leaders; secure commitments from a diverse coalition of community and faith-based organizations, service delivery agencies and advocacy organizations. Their goal is to assist with the implementation of agendas and foster leadership among displaced citizens to better communicate their needs and priorities.
