Will Mangham’s contributions to the Louisiana tourism industry are too numerous to list. He played an integral role in the early years of the Louisiana Office of Tourism, and served several years as a board member and officer for LTA.
From the early 1960’s until his passing in 2016, Mr. Will was an ever-present advisor for all things tourism. His handprint is on so many of the Louisiana tourism industry’s greatest accomplishments and his influence is seen in generations of tourism professionals who have come behind him.
This award is presented to someone who exemplifies the same characteristics as Will Mangham.
