If Louisiana school safety is important to you or any of your associates you are invited. You do not want to miss this one-day opportunity to have all parties together to discuss these concerns. Please contact your neighboring parishes and affiliates and invite them to attend the Fall Conference. This is an opportunity for the organization to address safety and security concerns in all of our schools with State Leaders. We are hopeful that this meeting will allow for all parties to share concerns and input as we continue conversations from the last Fall Conference. As a group we can work together to provide solutions to this crisis. This year we will be partnering with the Louisiana State Police to host the event!
Registration can be done at www.eventbrite.com. The event name is LA State Police/LSFMA Fall Conference. We have also emailed a link to all of our members and will have it posted on our website at LSFMA.ORG. FMX will also be holding an Operational Leadership Conference on Wednesday October 4th from 10:30am – 4:00pm. The event is free but you must register separately at https://promo.gofmx.com/operations-leadership-lsfma/. There will also be an opportunity for LSFMA early bird registration at the event. Participants in early bird registration may receive a gift for participation.
We are looking forward to seeing all of you at the Fall Conference. We greatly appreciate your support in helping our organization to grow and to advance our knowledge of all issues related to enhancing and maintaining our school facilities for the students of Louisiana.
