BATON ROUGE, La. (Dec. 10, 2025) — Emergent Method announced today that Kelsea McCrary, an experienced public sector leader with a track record of driving transformational economic and community growth at the state and local levels, has joined the firm as a manager.

McCrary joins Emergent Method after serving as the chief economic and cultural development officer for the City of Monroe, Louisiana. There, she advanced citywide initiatives in creative placekeeping and downtown revitalization, managed major preservation projects and federal grants, secured private sector investment within the city and coordinated planning and rapid response efforts for major projects impacting the region, such as Meta’s $27 billion data center in nearby Richland Parish. Before her time in Monroe, McCrary served as director of civic design and cultural districts for the Louisiana Office of Cultural Development, responsible for leading statewide programs to strengthen local economies and cultural infrastructure. She also held several public policy and communication roles with Lumen Technologies (formerly CenturyLink) and the University of Louisiana Monroe.

“Kelsea brings a unique blend of strategy and implementation experience directly aligned with our public sector and community engagement practices,” said Nick Speyrer, president of Emergent Method. “The impact of her public service can be seen across Louisiana, and her passion for economic development and cultural initiatives will amplify our ability to support both public and private sector clients who are implementing transformational projects and seeking to build true community partnership and trust. Our mission is to transform organizations and communities from the inside out, and with Kelsea on our team, we look forward to expanding our work and becoming more deeply embedded across north Louisiana and beyond.”

In her new role at Emergent Method, McCrary leverages her experience to support a wide range of clients with stakeholder engagement, public outreach, economic development and strategic planning initiatives.

A native of northeast Louisiana, McCrary earned her master’s degree in public administration from Louisiana State University and her bachelor’s degree in fine arts from the University of Louisiana Monroe. Along with serving as the vice-chair of the Louisiana State Arts Council, she also serves on the board of the Louisiana Partnership for the Arts and leads the Louisiana Trust for Historic Preservation.

BATON ROUGE, La. (July 25, 2024) – Emergent Method, a nationally recognized management consulting firm, announced today that Corey Ward and David Carter have been promoted to senior leadership positions.

Corey Ward, promoted to managing director, brings over a decade of experience in public sector program management to serve clients across the U.S. His experience includes leading disaster recovery programs in response to some of the country’s most costly natural disasters, serving communities across the Gulf South. He has led multi-functional teams through all phases of program implementation, built processes that efficiently and transparently deliver multi-million-dollar programs and serves as a trusted adviser to numerous governmental agencies and public sector leaders. Ward has been instrumental in increasing the firm’s capabilities in policy and compliance and program administration – especially in the disaster recovery space – positioning the firm to grow its work supporting public entities in planning and administering large-scale grant programs.

The firm also announced that David Carter has been promoted to senior manager. Carter is a multi-faceted consultant who works at the intersection of strategy consulting, program management and stakeholder engagement. He leverages extensive experience working in economic development and the energy sector to support both public and private clients on a wide range of programs and projects. Since joining the firm, Carter has led multiple highly visible and complex efforts on behalf of the firm’s clients, including working with local, state and regional leaders on initiatives to increase energy opportunities across the state. His work has been instrumental in advancing Louisiana’s economic development and energy expansion efforts, underscoring the firm’s commitment to promoting growth and innovation in these sectors throughout the country.

“The tangible results of Corey and David’s work can be seen in communities across the United States,” said Nick Speyrer, president of Emergent Method. “These promotions are not only a reflection of the growing need we see from our clients in the program management, energy and economic development spaces, but also an acknowledgement of their respective leadership in these critical service areas. Their commitment and dedication over the years have allowed our firm to continue growing and sharpening our niche expertise, and I’m excited to see each of them continue to deliver exceptional results for our clients.”
