Reverend Gene Mills
Executive Director

Gene Mills, an ordained minister and
highly sought-after motivational speaker
brings years of experience in working with
pro-life and pro-family issues to Louisiana Family Forum. Operating in the strategic LSU campus area, Gene founded and directed Chi Alpha Campus Outreach and the Women’s Resource Center, providing critical Christian counseling and crisis intervention services to thousands of students in need.

Gene’s leadership skills resulted in his selection to direct the statewide activities of Heartbeat of Louisiana, a network of clergy, business, and governmental leaders focusing on various family and policy initiatives. Since its inception in 1999, Gene has directed the activities of Louisiana Family Forum (LFF), a non-profit research and education organization providing “a voice for traditional families in Louisiana.” LFF’s impressive international network includes associations with Dr. James Dobson’s Focus on the Family, Washington D.C. based Family Research Council, and forty state-level family policy councils nationwide.

Bringing a commitment to family and public service to Louisiana Family Forum, Gene and wife Blanche have five sons and one special little girl.

Gene comments, "It is an honor to serve my fellow Louisianans in this capacity. I am excited about the team being assembled to restore the foundations of our culture. This is a good fight."

About Louisiana Family Forum

In 1998, having recognized the need for a family advocate in Louisiana, a group of pastors, policymakers, and concerned citizens came together to launch Louisiana Family Forum. Now in its sixth year, Louisiana Family Forum is proud of its growth, accomplishments, and the role it plays in public policy, family-strengthening initiatives across our state.
