"Leadership is more disposition than position, influence others from wherever you are". John Maxwell
Our diverse board has agreed to dedicate their time, energy and efforts to the success of others.
With more than 17 years of leadership and entrepreneurial experience, Kimberly Dellafosse is poised to inspire and educate others about creating their own path to success.
Kimberly obtained a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree and graduated with honors from Dillard University in 1994. After being named “Registered Nurse of the Year” at the VA Medical Center in New Orleans, she set her focus on a career in hospital management and quickly moved into the ranks of nursing administration and leadership.
During the span of her career, Kimberly has been afforded the opportunity to gain a myriad of career experience. In addition to being a licensed registered nurse, Kimberly also owns a public relations/business consulting business and possesses a certification in esthiology from the Aveda Institute of Beauty which she utilized to launch a skin care and beauty business. Serving as a business owner has allowed her to delve into philanthropy and mentoring, endeavors which continue to shape her passions. In 2011, Kimberly was named one of Thrive Magazine’s Thriving Thirty-Somethings for her commitment to youth.
Kimberly’s civic involvement includes serving as the founder of the community organization The Oak Park Neighborhood Alliance. She also serves on several boards including the Louisiana State Civil Service Commission and Big Brothers Big Sisters of Southwest Louisiana.
Kimberly strongly believes that she has yet to reach her maximum potential and as a result, she continues to search for new ventures which will allow her to merge her enterprising spirit with her love of mentoring.
Kimberly is married to Mack Dellafosse, and they have two children.
