Northshore
Links... Everything
Northshore!

In the
spring of
2008, after
completing
the
year-long Leadership
St. Tammany
program,
designed to
equip
emerging
community
leaders,
David Ellis
- a longtime
St. Tammany
resident -
began
considering
the idea of
building a
community
web portal
for the
Northshore.

Inspired
by what
he
learned
through
Leadership
St.
Tammany,
and
eager to
expand
his
community
involvement, David began
building
Northshore
Links into
the
online
resource
it is
today. NorthshoreLinks.com
was
launched
July 1,
2008,
and has
been
going
strong
ever
since.
Update:

2010, David Ellis
was nominated and
unanimously voted in as the
newest Board Member of the
Alumni Foundation of Leadership
St. Tammany.
In
April,
2010,
David
was also
elected
to serve
on the
board of
the
Three
Rivers
Art
Festival. |
