The Senate Resolution, introduced by Senator Hewitt, designates May 15, 2023, as "Ellevate Louisiana Day" at the Louisiana State Capitol, celebrating the mission of Ellevate Louisiana, a statewide policy organization founded by Julie Stokes in 2020. The organization is committed to empowering women leaders in Louisiana by providing education, resources, and data-driven, nonpartisan solutions to address various challenges faced by the state. Ellevate Louisiana engages with policymakers and the community through video casts and organizes leadership conferences and policy symposiums to facilitate direct engagement with decision-makers.

Ellevate Louisiana focuses on critical issues affecting Louisiana families, such as healthcare, education, and economic development, while promoting collaboration and unity across political divides. The organization also offers tailored membership options for diverse professionals and actively participates in national initiatives to foster awareness and constructive dialogue on pressing issues. The resolution acknowledges the significant impact of Ellevate Louisiana's work and encourages continued efforts to empower women leaders and improve the state's future.
