Louisiana Chapter

President’s Welcome

Dear Louisiana HFMA Members, Sponsors, and Friends,

It is an incredible honor to serve as President of the Louisiana Chapter of HFMA for the 2026 to 2027 term. I want to thank our members, volunteers, sponsors, and chapter leaders for the trust you have placed in me and for the passion you continue to bring to this organization.

This year’s chapter theme is “One Mission. One Chapter.” These four words reflect the direction we are heading together as a chapter. Louisiana HFMA has always been built on relationships, collaboration, and a willingness to help one another succeed. No matter your role, your organization, or where you are in your career, we all share a common mission. We are here to support the healthcare financial management community across Louisiana through education, leadership, networking, and service.

HFMA has played a major role in my professional journey. Through this chapter, I have built lasting friendships, learned from outstanding leaders, and had opportunities to grow both personally and professionally. What began as attending events and getting involved evolved into years of meaningful experiences that ultimately led me to this opportunity to serve as Chapter President. As we begin this new chapter year, my focus is simple. I want Louisiana HFMA to continue being a place where members feel connected, engaged, supported, and valued. We will continue investing in high quality educational programming, leadership development, certification growth, rural outreach, and stronger member engagement across the state. This chapter succeeds because of the people behind it. Our volunteers give their time generously. Our sponsors continue investing in our mission. Our members show up, participate, and strengthen this organization year after year. Together, we have built something special, and I am excited about where we are headed next. Whether you are a long time member or attending your first event, I encourage you to get involved this year.

I am grateful for the opportunity to lead this chapter alongside an outstanding Board of Directors and leadership team. I look forward to working together over the coming year as we continue building a stronger Louisiana HFMA. One Mission. One Chapter.

Neil Boudreaux
President, Louisiana HFMA 2026 to 2027
