Ashley Love, founder of IAmSimplyBeautiful Global and coordinator of the upcoming LaRuE Development Conference, recently attended the Ellevate Louisiana 2025 Legislative Leadership Conference in Baton Rouge. The event gathered some of the state’s most influential leaders to discuss critical policies and priorities ahead of the legislative session.

The day was filled with meaningful conversations surrounding Louisiana’s future—particularly in areas like education, insurance, fiscal responsibility, and infrastructure. Ashley, a passionate advocate for rural advancement and community collaboration, noted how valuable it was to hear directly from the decision-makers shaping state policy.

This year’s incredible speakers included:

• Phillip DeVillier

• Rep. Julie Emerson, Chairman of Ways & Means

• Rep. Gabe Firment, Chairman of Insurance

• Rep. Laurie Schlegel, Chairman of Education

• Senate President Cameron Henry

• Millard Mulé, Policy Director

• Patrick Goldsmith, Deputy Commissioner of Administration

• Luke Morris, LDR Assistant Secretary

Ashley expressed deep gratitude for the level of insight shared throughout the conference. As she continues to coordinate LaRuE 2025, she’s committed to ensuring that the conversations happening at the Capitol translate into tangible action for rural communities across Louisiana.

With leaders like these paving the way and organizations like Ellevate Louisiana creating space for learning and connection, Ashley is more motivated than ever to drive meaningful change, especially where it’s needed most.
