OstermanCron was recently recognized by the Louisiana Conference of the UMC Disaster Response for its contribution to hurricane relief efforts.

On June 27, 2008, eight OstermanCron team members traveled to New Orleans to assist Anthony and Gwendolyn Pierre, whose home suffered extreme damage in Hurricane Katrina. Rebuilding has been a long, difficult endeavor. “We can’t put into words how humbling this experience was,” said Joel Osterman, founding partner of OstermanCron. “The Pierre family endured not only the most devastating natural disaster in US history, but they had to abandon their home and belongings for two years. To help this couple restore their home was a remarkable event and a blessing to all.”
The Louisiana Conference of the UMC Disaster Response recognized OstermanCron for its efforts with a Certificate of Appreciation and an offer to return again.
