The Fleur-de-lis Ambassadors Program

“If our long-term recovery is going to be successful, it is critical that we build a
solid base of support for New Orleans around the country.The ongoing one-sided,
negative news coverage and misperceptions continue to exist, and these stand as two
of the largest roadblocks to our efforts to rebuild one of America’s great cities.”
- Scott Cowen, Tulane University President

“Our best spokespeople are those who are at the forefront of bringing our city
back from Katrina’s devastation. These ambassadors are knowledgeable and
passionate about our city, and they are dedicated and committed to its return to glory."
- Arnie Fielkow, New Orleans City Council President
