Executive Board

The Executive Board leads the state's organization of business teachers.  The officers of the board are installed in August during the annual Louisiana Association of Business Educators state meeting that is held in conjunction with the LACTE.  

The terms for the offices are for one year with the exception of the terms for treasurer, newsletter editor, and journal editor, whose terms are for two years.  The term for Southern Business Education Association representative is for three years.

The offices of president and president-elect alternate between representatives from the secondary level and the post-secondary level.  The LABE Executive Board usually meets three to four times a year in order to conduct the business of the organization.
