If you ask her she will say that she is “semi-retired.” Yet no one works harder and gives more of her time to the development and betterment of Jackson Parish than Wilda Smith. 

This past week the Jackson Parish Chamber of Commerce, which Smith has been the director of since 2005, recognized her tremendous commitment and dedicated service.

“It is through Wilda’s guidance, commitment, and love for our community that the Chamber of Commerce is strong and more vital than ever,” said JPCC President Yumeaka Washington. “Although she never gets the recognition she deserves, Wilda never stops pushing to make Jackson Parish more than just a spot on a map. Next time you see her, give her a big THANK YOU for all her dedication to our beautiful parish!”
