PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

Welcome to Quota Baton Rouge!  

“An open door is a welcome that makes a stranger into a friend. Today, Quota Baton Rouge is opening our doors and welcoming some outstanding talented women as friends.”

We are an 87-year-old organization that has welcomed generations of talented business owners, professionals and managers to our ranks. One of the key advantages of belonging to Quota is that you meet people who share common values and who are not part of your work, church, school or social group. We all come from different walks of life but coming together we help each other and the Baton Rouge Community.

Quota has made huge positive impacts in its 87 years. We have supported all of the hospitals in Baton Rouge recently giving $70,000 to help the new Children’s Hospital to get started. We were founders of the Baton Rouge Speech and Hearing Foundation and we helped it transition to The Emerge Center with a $65,000 contribution. We have helped children to learn by financially supporting the children’s programs at LPB. We have opened higher education to the deaf and hard of hearing with a $100,000 contribution to LSU and we are part of the LSU Top 100 Scholarship program with another $100,000 contribution. We were founders of Girls Hope and we support many local organizations with hands on service and donations.

During the next quarter of this program year, we plan to welcome women who value our mission, are committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive environment, and will help us continue to foster community partnerships.

The efforts of Quota Baton Rouge are made possible not only by the amazing efforts of you as members, but also by the generous support of donors through the years that have supported all of our various fundraisers. With the launching of a new Quota Management System provided through Digital Cheetah, we will be able to have the option of accepting donations via the new website or the customized Quota donor link.

It is an honor to serve as the President of Quota Baton Rouge this year. I look forward to working with all members and supporters to make lasting change in our community.

Remember to “Spark Joy and Soar!”

With thanks,
Bridgette B. Coleman, MBA
President, 2022-2023
