PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

The Women of Excellence Awards & Scholarship Program recognizes and honors the exemplary
achievements and contributions of extraordinary women in Louisiana who personify
 excellence in their leadership, profession, academics, community service, character
and integrity. The Foundation also supports the educational advancement of deserving
young women in Louisiana through the awarding of scholarships with the Louisiana
 Legislative Women's Caucus Foundation Scholarship for $1,000 and the Educational
Advancement Opportunity (EAO) Scholarship for $500.

OUR MISSION

The Louisiana Legislative Women's Caucus Foundation's mission is: "To prepare and
develop women leaders in Louisiana to be significant contributors and achievers 
in society."

WHO WE ARE

The Louisiana Legislative Women's Caucus Foundation is a non-profit corporation 
with an IRS designation of 501(c)(3). It is administered by the Louisiana Legislative
Women's Caucus, which is comprised of women legislators currently serving in the
 Louisiana Legislature. The selection of the Women of Excellence Awards and scholarship
recipients is made by an award and scholarship committee. This committee makes its
decisions based on defined criteria and works independently of the women legislators.
Members of the Louisiana Legislative Women's Caucus and its staff do not serve on
the award and scholarship committee.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

The Foundation prides itself on encouraging women of Louisiana to uphold high levels
of integrity, excellence in character, leadership and service to others and outstanding
work and academic standards. We believe these factors are the primary ingredients
for success in every role a woman has in her lifetime.
