TPN Mind Clinic is a series of talks designed to provide continuing education for licensed mental health clinicians to strengthen the relationships within the state and region’s behavioral health community. The event featured experts Dr. José Calde- rón-Abbo, associate professor of clinical psychi- atry at Louisiana State University’s department of psychiatry, and Dr. James Flowers, founder of the Flowers Institute and adjunct professor at Sam Houston State University, who specialize in addiction treatment and chronic pain, respec- tively. In addition, Dr. Patrick Bordnick also spoke on the TPN database that assists in streamlining informed behavioral health professional referrals across the region. “We’re very encouraged by the attendance of the first Mind Clinic, but even more so by the enthusiasm of the participants,” said TPN Chief Executive Officer Trevor Colhoun. “The eagerness to connect and engage is pro- pelling real growth of our clinician network, mak- ing it an even more valuable tool for them to utilize in the workplace.” To learn more about the TPN network and future Mind Clinic events, please visit TPN.Health.

The announcement fol- lows an intensive and months-long search led by Tom Adamek, a current Foundation board mem- ber and chairperson of the Foundation Search Committee. Marmande comes into this role hav- ing served most recently as senior vice president of principal gifts with the LSU Foundation. She will begin her new duties effective Jan. 15, 2020. “Our organization is most fortunate to wel- come Ann Marie Marmande to the role of President. She is an accomplished and highly- respected philanthropy executive and a devoted leader for our community and state. Every inter- action with Ann Marie conveys her professional- ism, integrity and enthusiasm and I believe she’s as eager to begin as we are to have her,” said Tom Amadek, chairperson of the Our Lady of the Lake Foundation Search Committee. “The col- laborative opportunities under her leadership are tremendous. Recognizing the importance of this selection, our search committee included Our Lady of the Lake executives and Board members and I have been honored to chair this task. We had many great candidates to consider and are thrilled Ann Marie has accepted the position.” “Ann Marie has devoted the past 20 years to LSU, leading in roles ranging from steward- ship to million dollar-plus gifts and playing an integral role in developing a blueprint that has transformed fundraising at LSU,” said Clarence P. Cazalot Jr., chairperson of the LSU Foundation Board of Directors. “I’ve had the opportunity to partner with her in those efforts for nearly the same span of time. Ann Marie is deeply commit- ted to donor-centric fundraising and is particu- larly passionate about the power of philanthropy to improve health and well-being. She is a natu- ral fit for this role, and while we are disappointed to lose her on our team, we are proud that the expertise she honed at LSU will now benefit the healthcare community in Louisiana.” During her 20-year tenure, Marmande has led a number of successful and significant initiatives at the LSU Foundation, culminating in the recent launch of a $1.5 billion campaign. She served as a key strategist in creating a comprehensive blue- print for achieving LSU’s philanthropic potential across its eight campuses statewide and, nota- bly, has helped spearhead efforts for success- ful coordination and collaboration among LSU’s foundations. She has also been directly respon- sible for supporting the philanthropy activities of Trusted Provider Network presents Mind Clinic Series
