September 2021 Meeting - Anita Begnaud

About Anita Begnaud

As the leader of DDA and DLU, Anita works with Downtown Lafayette stakeholders, developers, government representatives, and community leaders to create a stronger and more dynamic city center. Before joining Downtown Lafayette, Anita worked as the Senior Vice President of Communications and Governmental Affairs with One Acadiana, and she has been actively involved in Lafayette leadership organizations like Leadership Institute of Acadiana and the705. She currently serves as a board member of South Louisiana Community College Foundation and CASA of SoLA. Anita understands the regional importance of a vibrant urban core and she works to provide a strategic vision for leaders in Lafayette to utilize and grow Downtown as a flagship district for culture and commerce in Acadiana.

Fun Fact

Anita is originally from Church Point, Louisiana and has lived her entire life within a 20-mile radius of the heart of the City of Lafayette. As Herman Fuselier likes to say, “It takes a girl from Church Point to run Downtown Lafayette!”

Fun

When she’s not working and networking, you can find Anita running, reading, or sharing a meal (and a drink or two) with friends and loved ones. She is proud of the place she calls home and is grateful for the opportunity to tell the rest of the world Acadiana's story of its unique culture - a perfect blend of family, food, and fun, unlike any other place in the world.
