Prof. Odinet invited to join board of La. Budget Project
Prof. Chris Odinet was recently invited to join the board of the Louisiana Budget Project (LBP). The organization is a member of the State Priorities Partnership, a network of state-level policy organizations coordinated by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.
LBP monitors and reports on public policy and how it affects Louisiana’s low- to moderate-income families. Formed in 2006 as an initiative of the Louisiana Association of Nonprofit Organizations, it became a stand-alone organization in 2013.
“I’m very much looking forward to serving on the Budget Project’s board,” said Odinet. “I’ve followed LBP’s work for years and believe deeply in its mission of advocating for low- to middle-income persons from a fiscal policy standpoint.”
Odinet, the Horatio C. Thompson Endowed assistant professor of law at the Southern University Law Center, is a frequent speaker on issues related to mortgage finance, real estate, and consumer financial protection. His research focuses on the role that debt and credit play in property-related transactions. Odinet is a 2016-18 Louisiana Bar Foundation Scholar-in-Residence. View his scholarship by clicking here.
