s l reflecl on 2018 for a moment, I am very thankful
to be working with a board of direetors committed
to the mmmun goal ui keeping our communities and

undeigroiind intrastriietiire sate.

I'm also gratetiil for the stakeholders across our state who

have worked tirelessly to create a positive environment of

cooperation. By your example, you've eneouraged all of us

to be more willing to listen to the perspectives of others.

As the result ui listening to other ideas, l believe that our

rlamage prevention program will continue to improve. Our

goal is to be fair to all. And we've learned it it is not faix to

all. it is not fun’ at all
l hope you were able to attend the Louisiana 811 connection in Lake Charles last month

an event that focused on showcasing the sottware and all the benefits that are available to
our members and users of our system.
75% of all arkets we take at Louisiana 311 are intemet based and of that number, 81% are
created using NextCen. Thanks to all ui you who have taken arlvantage of this amazing
