Alexandria, LA, October 22, 2019 --(PR.com)-- Mel Gauthier of Alexandria, Louisiana has been
recognized as a VIP Member for 2019 by P.O.W.E.R. (Professional Organization of Women of
Excellence Recognized) for her outstanding contributions and achievements for over 13 years in the field
of human services. VIP Members exemplify tenacity. They realize that in order to reach their goals, they
must never give up and continue to strive to become influential in their profession.
Mel was a struggling single parent many years ago. Because she made $100 over limit for government
help for food or medical care for her children, Mel learned how to make it on her own and vowed she
would help struggling, single moms as soon as she was financially able to do so.
Ms. Gauthier obtained an A.A. in English and Physical Education from Northwestern University in 1972.
She also attended Louisiana Technical Institute and completed Accounting 1 and 2 after college.
Previously she served as a branch manager/account representative for GTS Employment Agency, an
account representative for Centennial Wireless, an office manager/dispatcher for Advanced Systems, a
retail hearing counselor and office manager for Astrum Hearing Center and an accountant for Deborah
Aaron. She was the treasurer for Lily of the Valley Ministries, Inc. before beginning her position as
executive director.
Mel advises that Lily of the Valley Ministries, Inc. has been a success because her mentor and the
President, Rev. Greg Texada, taught her to believe positive and speak positive no matter the circumstance
and the outcome will always be victorious. She was awarded Business Woman of the year for 2016 in
Rapides Parish. She is affiliated with the L.R.T.L. In her spare time Mel enjoys fitness and training dogs.
Mel Gauthier states, “It is my goal to continue to help women become a success. I desire for them to
become independently off of government help.”
