About Us

Tammany Together, Inc. is a non-profit, non-partisan, coalition of St. Tammany individuals, non-profit organizations, and homeowner and civic associations. We have come together without regard to east or west, city or parish, suburban or rural, rich or poor, life-long or newly arrived resident. For too long now, these labels have divided the citizens of our parish.

And our quality of life has suffered because of our divisions. No more! We now have a forum to speak with a unified voice rather than standing alone. This parish is everyone’s backyard!

Tammany Together, Inc. is a grass-roots organization. Members may attend the monthly meetings of the fifteen-member Board of Directors. There will be quarterly General Membership Meetings.

Member committees will study the issues and present their reports to the Board. The Board may ask for more information, take action, or ask the membership to vote on the matter. Tammany Together is committed to listening to the diverse voices in St. Tammany.

As a non-partisan organization, Tammany Together does not endorse or oppose specific candidates for public office.

Tammany Together, Inc. is organized under the laws of the State of Louisiana as a Domestic Non-Profit Corporation and has been granted tax-exempt status as a 501(c)(4) organization by the Internal Revenue Service.

Mission Statement

The mission of Tammany Together, a nonpartisan organization, is to identify issues of importance to the citizens of St. Tammany Parish, to educate its members and others on these issues, and to exert a positive influence on their outcome by speaking out with a unified voice.

Why I Am Part of Tammany Together

"How many citizens sit home thinking, in coffee shops thinking, they can't do anything about what's going on in their parish? It's their parish, they pay the taxes, but they have no control. This is going to give everyone a voice." Paulette Barras, Slidell resident

"St. Tammany residents continually show their willingness to work hard for a better Parish. Tammany Together gives us a forum to have a strong, positive influence on our future." Rick Wilke, President, Association of Associations

"Development is necessary and inevitable. However, there is a greater need in this parish for responsible development. Planning not Reacting." Carolyn Condon, Folsom area citizen

"It’s time for ALL of the citizens of St. Tammany to be represented by an organization that is dedicated to making citizens equal partners with government and business in planning for the future of St. Tammany." Sandra Slifer, President, League of Women Voters® of St. Tammany

"Divide and conquer. Unite and win." Dr. John Martin, President, Goodbee Civic Association

"I had to learn the hard way how things “get done” in this parish. I want to use that experience, along with others who have traveled that same congested road, and establish a strong link between parish officials and the community in working towards systemic change here in St. Tammany Parish." Elizabeth Manshel, Vice-President, Penn’s Chapel Road Association
