Holly & Smith Architects is proud to congratulate Jennifer Hanson on graduating with the Leadership Tangipahoa Class of 2026!

Leadership Tangipahoa provides an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the people, organizations, and systems that keep Tangipahoa Parish moving forward. Throughout the program, Jennifer joined fellow local leaders in exploring the many facets of our community, including government, education, healthcare, economic development, public safety, and more.

Through hands-on field trips, conversations with community leaders, collaborative experiences, and behind-the-scenes looks at local organizations, class members gained valuable insight into how Tangipahoa Parish operates—and how they can play an active role in its continued growth and success.

Jennifer graduated from the program in June 2026, joining a growing group of H/S team members who have participated in Leadership Tangipahoa over the years.  This year’s graduation keynote speaker was Louisiana Secretary of State Nancy Landry, who inspired the graduating class to continue their role as emerging leaders for the betterment of their communities.

Since 2010, H/S has proudly supported Leadership Tangipahoa and its mission to develop informed, engaged leaders within our community. Past participants include Pierre Theriot, Ryan Faulk, Mark Beckers, Mary Guiteau, Robin Gray, Paul Morvant, and Brittany Olivier.

“Leadership Tangipahoa provides a unique insight into how our parish is run and what makes it thrive,” said Associated Principal Mary Guiteau.  “Class members are inspired to lead and serve for the betterment of the entire community.  H/S is proud to have been a part of this worthwhile program for the past 17 years”

We’re proud of Jennifer and the entire Leadership Tangipahoa Class of 2026 for investing their time, talents, and energy into becoming more informed and engaged leaders. We look forward to seeing the impact they continue to make throughout Tangipahoa Parish.
