Donna McClain was presented the Leadership Award by the Louisiana Emergency Preparedness Association (LEPA). She was nominated by the West Carol OEP Director, Ms. Myrtle Green because of the assistance and guidance given to her. Ms. McClain went above the call of duty. Without any training in Emergency Management including grants, she developed a PowerPoint Presentation to demonstrate the new GOHSEP Grant Portal System and shared it with her peers. She demonstrates leadership by her work ethic and ability to set goals and achieve them. Her contribution in emergency management has been valued and proven successful. Before she became a full time employee in March 2022, she worked as a part-time employee during Hurricane Ida for Mr. John Rahaim, OEP Director of St. Bernard Parish. Her clerical style began to shine when she accomplished tasks and assignments that she created on her own without any guidance which demonstrates the value of leadership. She always has a positive attitude which is contagious to others.
