COVINGTON, La. – The Board of the St Tammany Chamber of Commerce elected David Landry, an Equity Partner at Carver Darden, as Chairman of the Board for a one-year term.

The installation took place on January 25th during the Chamber’s Annual Installation & Awards Luncheon at Greystone with more than 200 members and guests in attendance.
“David first joined our Chamber over a decade ago and immediately became involved with our Small Business Council, eventually serving as its Chair,” said Lacey Osborne, President and CEO of the St Tammany Chamber of Commerce. “In fact, he has since been actively involved as an SBC member and has also served on the Council of Ambassadors, Executive Committee and Board of Directors.”
Landry is an attorney with more than 20 years of experience in commercial and banking disputes, business transactions, estate planning, succession, contract negotiation and healthcare provider representation. Before entering the legal profession, he worked for Whitney National Bank for more than 10 years. He holds a bachelor’s degree in finance from Loyola University New Orleans and a Juris Doctor degree from Loyola University New Orleans School of Law.
“Over 150 companies joined the St. Tammany Chamber of Commerce in 2022 to forge professional relationships and engage directly with the great leaders, elected officials and pillars of our community,” said Landry. “In 2023, we will continue to grow as we recruit even more businesses in East and West St. Tammany to join our 1,275 members to support business advocacy and act as a catalyst for the success of our community.”
