Tanya Leader joined the St. Tammany Parish Tourist and Convention Commission in 2001, bringing with her a background in recruitment, public engagement, event planning, and organizational leadership from her earlier role as an Enrollment Counselor Coordinator at her alma mater, Southeastern Louisiana University. She began her tourism career as Visitor Services Manager before transitioning into the sales department. In 2010, she was promoted to Vice President of Sales, and in 2023, her leadership expanded to include management of the Visitor Services team.
Tanya is a proud graduate of Leadership St. Tammany and the Louisiana Tourism Leadership Academy. Most recently she earned the prestigious Certified Destination Management Executive (CDME) credential from Destinations International.
Known by her family as the “Appetizer Queen,” Tanya is always ready to whip up a quick nibble and entertain. On most weekends, Tanya can be found welcoming guests at 30 by Ninety Theatre, a nonprofit community playhouse co-founded by her husband, Jason, over a decade ago. The theater remains a cherished passion project for both.
