About Us

1. Persons who serve in administrative and/or supervisory capacities in the school systems of Louisiana.
2. Heads of administrative divisions and sections in the central offices of school systems in Louisiana.
3. Heads of administrative divisions and departments of the Louisiana Department of Education .
4. Administrative officers / professors of school administration in the colleges and universities of Louisiana. 
5. Persons who serve as school counselors

Annual membership dues are $150 per year and in many cases are payroll deductible. The membership year runs for any twelve consecutive months after an individual joins. 

The Louisiana Association of School Executives has as its main purpose:

1. To provide strong professional leadership in securing optimal educational opportunities for children.
2. To protect the interests of education in Louisiana and the nation.
3. To enhance the effectiveness of the school administrator by providing for his/her welfare, enforcing the code of ethics as presented by American Association of School Administrators and providing for a systematic sharing of information and research. 

The organizational structure of LASE includes an executive committee, under the leadership of an Executive Director. The executive committee consists of the current president, the president-elect, the past president and one representative from each of the eight districts around the state. The executive committee meets monthly to hear reports from the Executive Director, the organization’s legal counsel, the legislative lobbyists and to consider other organization business.

There is an annual conference usually held in mid November in Baton Rouge. Conference themes change from year to year but generally focus on “Effective School Leadership In Maintaining Quality Schools”. For more information about LASE and its services see LASE Services or contact our Executive Director, Rogers Pope at the LASE office (225-791-0365).
