Kelley is ‘practically’ a native New Orleansian who is passionate about and supportive of many causes, primarily the arts, helping children, and saving wildlife. She currently serves on the boards of New Orleans Ballet, New Orleans Zoo, and Children’s Assessment Center, as well as on the advance council for American Brain Foundation. Additionally, she is a member of Ladies for Literacy supporting the Barbara Bush New Orleans Literacy Foundation and the Champagne Cowgirls, a group of twenty women supporting Texas education through the New Orleans Livestock Show and Rodeo Junior Market Auctions. She is currently a 2022 New Orleans Chronicle Best Dressed Honoree. She loves New Orleans for its wide-open skies and wonderfully friendly and generous people.

Above all, she values her lovely husband, Stephen, amazing family, and dear, indispensable friends, and dotes on her three delightful grandkids, Jessamine, Clint, and Caroline.
