LOUISIANA SCHOOL FACILITY MANAGERS ASSOCIATION CONFERENCE INFORMATION

The History of LSFMA Conferences

Throughout the history of the organization, 16 different facility managers have served as president. During their tenures, the conferences have grown to twice a year and steadily increased in scope and impact. The Spring Conference includes a vendor showcase where LSFMA members can meet and network with the companies that support and supply our schools. The Fall Conference focuses primarily on the issues that schools across the state are facing and networking among members of the association.
