Women in Business: The Harbor Center

LEADING WITH VISION:

THE WOMEN BEHIND THE HARBOR CENTER

The Harbor Center is led by a dynamic management team, with new General Manager Victoria Paz at the helm. After a decade of attending and hosting events at The Harbor Center, Victoria stepped into her leadership role in January, bringing extensive experience in sales, marketing, and community relations.

“Knowing I could help create enjoyable memories for clients and event attendees drew me to The Harbor Center,” says Victoria.

Supporting her mission is a team of talented female managers. Sales & Marketing Manager Jessica Hester brings valuable relationship-building and sales expertise to the venue, and Event Managers Mary Landreneau and Dannell Hynes, whose combined experience spans venue and event management as well as catering services.

These professionals are seasoned industry experts and longtime admirers of The Harbor Center. “We’re excited about the future of The Harbor Center,” says Victoria. “With our combined experience and fresh perspective, we’re dedicated to creating memorable experiences while establishing the venue as the region’s premier destination for events of all sizes. Every client and guest who walks through our doors becomes part of our story.”

Under their leadership, and alongside the talented Operations team, The Harbor Center continues to host a diverse array of gatherings - from large-scale conventions and trade shows to intimate bridal showers, continuing education classes, and nonprofit banquets. With their collaborative approach and industry knowledge, this leadership team is well-positioned to strengthen The Harbor Center’s reputation as St. Tammany’s premier convention and event center.
