Wendy Aguillard

Wendy Curphy Aguillard has worked in the Calcasieu Parish Assessor's Office since 1996 and has served as the elected Calcasieu Parish Assessor since 2011, based in Lake Charles, Louisiana. Her current term runs through December 31, 2027. As assessor, she is responsible for discovering, listing, and valuing all taxable property in Calcasieu Parish. She is a Certified Louisiana Assessor (CLA) and was named the Louisiana Assessors' Association's 2015 Assessor of the Year. Local coverage credits her with renegotiating vendor contracts, restructuring the office budget, and cutting expenditures (including declining a county vehicle) after taking office.

Within the statewide Louisiana Assessors' Association (LAA), Aguillard held a progression of officer roles: she served as Treasurer (2017–2018) and was sworn in as Vice President for 2019; Louisiana Secretary of State records indicate she subsequently served as President of the association. She continues to serve as an LAA board member and is Chairman of the association's ITEP (Industrial Tax Exemption Program) Committee, and sits on its Legislative, Affordable Housing, Oil and Gas, Orientation, and Watercraft committees. She has also been a defendant-of-record in property-tax litigation in her official capacity (e.g., *Phillips 66 Company v. Assessor Wendy Aguillard and the Calcasieu Parish Board of Review*).

Outside the assessor's office, she serves as a Board Member of the United Way of Southwest Louisiana. On the personal side, she is married to Brandon Aguillard (since 2007) and is the mother of two sons, Garett Curphy and the late Hunter Curphy.

• No angel/venture investment thesis could be verified. There is no public record of Aguillard making seed-round or startup investments, of a stated check-size range, of a target company profile, or of a sector/geographic investing mandate.
• Her professional "focus" is public-sector property valuation and tax administration in Calcasieu Parish, plus governance within the Louisiana Assessors' Association (notably industrial tax exemptions via the ITEP Committee) and community philanthropy through United Way.
• The only investment-adjacent connection is institutional: the Louisiana Assessors' Retirement Fund, the pension serving Louisiana assessors and their staff, is an institutional limited partner (per PitchBook). Aguillard is not listed as its Board of Trustees chairperson — the current chairperson of that fund's board is Stephanie S. Smith (Ouachita Parish).
