Welcome from Executive Director

We welcome and thank you for visiting the Governor’s Office of Disability Affairs web site. The Governor’s Office of Disability Affairs (GODA) strives to serve as an informational resource for Louisiana’s disability community and the agencies that serve them. 

GODA was established and designed by the Governor’s Office to adequately educate, address and resolve issues relative to the disability community. It is our goal to promote, encourage and support citizens with disabilities so they may have an equal opportunity to actively participate in all aspects of life.

We would like to express our appreciation to Governor Bobby Jindal and the numerous state and community organizations across Louisiana that work in partnership with GODA.  It is their collaboration and partnership that enable us to facilitate positive progress for Louisiana citizens with disabilities.

We invite you to explore the information and resources available throughout the pages of the GODA website. My staff and I are eager to address any issues or concerns that you may have. We welcome your comments and ideas for making positive changes. We are strongly committed to assisting Louisiana citizens with disabilities and are truly honored to focus on the abilities of those we serve.
