My fellow NOBA Members,
One of the remarkable things about having the honor of serving NOBA at this time has been the many opportuni-ties we have had, as an association, to participate in the many celebrations of the rich history of New Orleans. We have had two recent such opportunities to do so.
On June 1st, we welcomed the very first female Mayor of the City of New Orleans in its 300-year history during our Annual Mayoral Luncheon which was organized by our Young Lawyers Section.
We also had the opportunity to be included in the dedication of the renaming of Press Street between
Chartres Street and St. Claude Avenue as Homer Plessy Way.
Our Mayoral Luncheon was the kickoff for our new Leadership Luncheon Series.
You can read more on our other upcoming events in this issue including our Beyond Wellness Seminar with Li-censed Professional Counselor Ann Abbrecht on July 18th. This important seminar will focus on mental wellness and will discuss a holistic approach to counseling, specifically for the legal professional. According to the JLAP website, studies have shown that members of the legal profession are at a greater risk for suicide than those in the general population. A 2016 study by the American Bar Association and Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation determined that 28% of licensed, employed lawyers suffer depression. These studies highlight the importance of this conversation for which we hope you will join us!
Also, the all new and exciting Pro-Bowl-O Tournament has changed venues this year! The tournament will be held on Thursday, July 26th right downtown at Fulton Alley so please corral your summer law clerks and come out and join us for this fun with a purpose! The proceeds of the event will benefit the Pro-Bono Project.
Dana

Mayor LaToya Cantrell Addresses New Orleans Bar AssociationCity Leader Meets the Bar Leaders
On June 1, 2018, the New Orleans Bar Association (NOBA) kicked off the summer Leadership Luncheons with the Mayoral Luncheon at the Hyatt Regency Hotel. After a warm introduction by NOBA President Dana Douglas, new-ly-elected Mayor of New Orleans LaToya Cantrell was met with a standing ovation from a crowd of over 250 lawyers and judges.
The Mayor opened her remarks by acknowledging she has heard our con-cerns about the needs for a new courthouse for the Orleans Parish Civil District Court, which was met with a round of loud applause. The Mayor explained that she was open to having dialogue with New Orleanians and emphasized that civility was important to her. She shared her apprecia-tion for the value of lawyers and the work they do making our city a better place to live for everyone. The Mayor closed by admitting that there is progress yet to be made and encouraged all attending, as leaders in the New Orleans community, to be a part of that change and maintain the City’s forward progress.
NOBA would like to thank the Mayor for making time so early in her term as the new Mayor to address the Bar.
NOBA also wishes to recognize and thank all those who participated in and made this event possible, including Dana Douglas, NOBA President, Gary Johnson, Leadership Luncheon Chair, NOBA Executive Director Helena Henderson, Program Director Liz Daino and the following table sponsors:

Briefly Speaking | 7July 2018
Tiffany Delery Davis is a shareholder at Liskow & Lewis where she prac-tices in the areas of maritime and energy law, and heads the firm’s Diversi-ty Committee. She concentrates her practice on maritime and oilfield torts and contracts, and on environmental litigation involving oil spills, oilfield restoration, and coastal erosion. She also has experience with regulatory and transactional matters concerning environmental and energy law.
Tiffany serves as Co-Chair of NOBA’s Oil and Gas Committee. She also serves on the Board of the New Orleans Chapter of the Federal Bar Asso-ciation and is a New Orleans Regional Leadership Institute (NORLI) Board Member.
Tiffany served as a Sergeant in the United States Marine Corps Reserves from 1996 through 2004.
WAID: Tell us about your military service?
DAVIS: I served as an intelligence analyst in the United States Marine Corps Reserves for eight years during college and law school. Roughly three of those years were spent on active duty, including activation orders during Opera-tion Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom. Fortunately, I was never stationed in any combat areas. As an intelligence analyst I was always attached to headquarters-level commands where I would prepare and present intel-ligence briefings to the Commanding General and his staff of Commanding Officers.
The U.S. Marine Forces Reserve Headquarters is located in New Orleans, and that is where I was stationed during most of my enlistment. I also spent one year stationed at Headquarters Marine Forces Europe in Germany and another at Headquarters Marine Forces Pacific in Hawaii. Remarkably, while stationed in Hawaii, my barracks were on Ford Island in the center of Pearl Harbor, so I am especially humbled to have that connection to such a historic site. Other short-term duty assignments took me to Bosnia and Korea. Wherever I was stationed I took advantage of the opportunity to explore the world around me with fellow Marines.
WAID: What inspired you to join the military?
DAVIS: Having spent the latter part of my childhood in New Jersey, I returned to my hometown of New Orleans in time to begin undergrad at Loyola. As much as I enjoyed college, I was eager for some more exciting challenges. I also had aspirations to join the FBI, and figured the military experience and security clearance would help, so I set off for boot camp the summer after completing my first year of studies.
At 18 years old I felt capable of anything, and there was no better way to prove it than becoming one of “The Fewer, The Prouder - a Female Marine.” I admired all service members, but the Marines impressed me most withtheir attitudes and sharp uniforms. The Reserves was the right choice for me because it satisfied my appetite for adventure while allowing me to continue my education on schedule.

8 | Briefly Speaking July 2018
WAID: How has your experience in the military assisted you in the practice of law?
DAVIS: One big asset to my legal career has been the wealth of life experience I gained that enables me to relate to many situations and work successfully with all types of people. I also left the Marine Corps tougher and more disciplined than I entered it. Equally important, I developed a strong self-perception and confidence in my abili-ties that has managed to survive thirteen years of practice relatively intact. Finally, I have never found any client, lawyer or judge especially intimidating compared to many of the Marines I’ve worked with, so that’s a plus.
WAID: Anything else you’d like us to know?
DAVIS: This relates to some little-known New Orleans history. The Molly Marine statue honoring servicewom-en that stands downtown (at the intersection of Elks Place and Canal) is the first United States monument of a woman in uniform. It is reportedly only the second known statue in the world of a woman in uniform – following behind an 1855 statue of Joan of Arc in Orleans, France. The Molly Marine statue was dedicated by the City of New Orleans in 1943, and was part of a recruiting effort during World War II. She was created by world-renowned sculptor Enrique Alferez, who erected many well-known landmarks throughout the city.
Since 1969, the Women Marines Association has presented coveted Molly Marine Awards to recognize notable achievement by Women Marines. According to their website, “[a]ward recipients are selected by members of each graduating platoon as individuals who best exemplify the Espirit de Corps and ideal of excellence which is the hallmark of all Marines.”
I enjoyed the honor of receiving the Molly Marine Award from my platoon upon graduation from boot camp in 1997. In 1998, the Molly Marine Res-toration Society was formed and the statue was restored. As a newly-minted Molly Marine, I was invited to take part in several events associated with the restoration, where I had the opportu-nity to meet Enrique Alferez and participate in a documentary about Molly Marine. I think I was all but cut from the documentary except for one line where I said “I am very proud.” That one line sums it up perfectly.

We are pleased to announce that the 2018 Liberty Bell Award was awarded to Alden J. McDonald, Jr., President and CEO of Liberty Bank & Trust Company.
Alden Joseph McDonald, Jr. is a quiet force in the New Orleans community who personifies each of these characteristics.
A graduate of the LSU School of Banking and of Columbia Uni-versity’s Commercial Banking Management Program, McDonald began his career at International City Bank in New Orleans in 1966, rising to the position of Vice President for Consumer Lending be-fore he left to lead Liberty Bank and Trust Company where he has been since 1972. While in college, Mr. McDonald also joined Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. and later attended Columbia Universi-ty’s Commercial Banking Management Program.
Mr. McDonald’s work in the New Orleans community has earned him many accolades. In 2001, McDonald received the prestigious Loving Cup award from New Orleans’ major newspaper, The Times-Picayune, which is considered the highest honor in the
New Orleans Metropolitan Area. In 2006, McDonald was named to Fortune Magazine’s highly regarded “Portraits of Power” list for 2006, extolling him for his powerful presence in the business community and his impact on the global market.
He has served as the chairman of the New Orleans Chamber of Commerce. He has served as the co-chair of the Greater New Orleans Education Foundation. In 2004, he became the first chairman for Greater New Orleans, Inc., established for the economic development of the New Orleans region.
Mr. McDonald has been an active force in the New Orleans business community and has served on almost all well-known professional and social boards in the New Orleans region. As both a business leader and a community leader, he is well known for his devotion to community development through promoting entrepreneurship, supporting civic organizations and empowering both businesses and individuals.
What is less known, however, are his many charitable dona-tions and support to advance causes related to civic respon-sibility and the encouragement all of those he both employs and mentors to be contributors to good government in the community. Mr. McDonald, individually, along with his family, and through the efforts of Liberty Bank, has helped to support

countless students in providing scholarships to students attending Tulane, Loyola, Southern, Xavier and LSU law schools. Under his leadership, Liberty has endowed a scholarship through the Greater New Orleans Louis A. Martinet Society which is given out annually to an under-graduate pre-law student. The McDonald and Ortique families have provided significant funding to Dillard Uni-versity, which includes the creation of the Justice Revius O. Ortique Jr. Mock Trial Center, the annual Ortique Lec-ture on Law and Society, and the Ortique Scholarship program.
Along with his wife Rhesa Ortique McDonald, he hosted the annual United Negro College Fund gala in New Or-leans for two decades. The event, which benefits local HBCUs, has grown from a small celebration that netted about $10,000 a year for local UNCF schools to a yearly fete that raised about more $200,000 annually. The Mc-Donald and the Ortique families have been significant benefactors to the Amistad Research Center, most re-cently serving as one of the major sponsors for the 50th Anniversary celebration of Amistad and were responsible for the recent donation of Justice Revius Ortique’s papers to the Amistad Center for historical preservation.
