House Resolution No. by Representative Boyd designates May 14, 2025, as Louisiana Links Day at the Capitol, honoring The Links, Incorporated and its seven chapters in Louisiana for their significant contributions to the state and its citizens. Established in 1946, The Links, Incorporated is a prominent international nonprofit organization focused on enriching the lives of African Americans and other individuals of African descent through community service and civic engagement. The organization operates through five program areas: Services to Youth, The Arts, National Trends and Services, International Trends and Services, and Health and Human Services, and includes 17,000 professional women across 299 chapters in the U.S. and beyond.
The resolution highlights the impactful work of the Louisiana chapters—Baton Rouge, Crescent City, La Capitale, Monroe-Grambling, New Orleans, Pontchartrain, and Shreveport—in advancing education, health equity, cultural preservation, and community development. Louisiana Links Day at the Capitol serves as a platform for members to engage with lawmakers, advocate for public policies that benefit underserved communities, and emphasize the importance of civic involvement and public service. The House of Representatives commends The Links, Incorporated for its exemplary service and recognizes the enduring commitment of its Louisiana chapters to uplift communities throughout the state.
