Top Female Achievers: Making Change for Good
“In New Orleans, we have impressive women leading the way to make change at all levels. Our annual Top Female Achievers class includes leaders who are fighting for representation for indigenous peoples in Louisiana, educating the youth of New Orleans with work skills and knowledge beyond a classroom, working to battle climate change impacts on our coastline, preserving our cultural traditions and much, much more.”
“New Orleans is a city of performers; performers who have a part of their closet – sometimes a whole closet – dedicated to costumes for a performance that between Carnival and festivals can sprout on any street corner at the drop of a musical note. The New Orleans Opera has brought performances of a different kind to the city for more than 80 seasons now. Lila Palmer is set to begin her tenure as the new general and artistic director of the New Orleans Opera, bringing years of experience as a musician, a singer and a librettist (among many other titles) from the U.K. to the U.S.”
