Greetings LAFEPA Members, Partners, and Colleagues,
It is both a privilege and an honor to serve as President of the Louisiana Association of Federal Education Program Administrators. I am proud to lead an organization grounded in an unwavering commitment to excellence, student success, and the dedicated educational leaders who work tirelessly to ensure federal programs are implemented effectively, efficiently, and equitably across our schools.
LAFEPA’s strength is rooted in the dedication and engagement of its members. With a network of more than 250 federal program administrators statewide, we represent a powerful collective voice in education. Our Executive Committee is committed to maintaining the high standards established by those who have served before us. At the same time, our Planning Committees continue to lead with passion and purpose—impacting schools and communities far beyond their individual roles.
Through the collaborative work of our Executive and Planning Committees, LAFEPA proudly hosts two annual conferences designed to provide relevant, practical learning aligned to the daily work of our members. These conferences offer meaningful professional development while also creating valuable opportunities to strengthen professional networks. We are sincerely grateful to our conference sponsors whose continued partnership supports our shared efforts to close achievement gaps and promote educational equity throughout our state.
During the 2025–2026 school year, the Executive Committee, Planning Committees, and I remain steadfast in our commitment to serving and strengthening this exceptional organization.
I encourage each of you to actively engage in LAFEPA. Consider joining a planning committee and becoming more involved in the work that shapes our organization. Please feel free to contact any committee chairperson or me directly to share your ideas and feedback. Your insight, dedication, and passion are what propel LAFEPA forward. Together, we will continue to uphold the highest standards of excellence in federal education program administration.
I remain deeply grateful for this organization—for the knowledge gained, the professional growth experienced, and the lasting relationships built. Thank you for your continued trust and support. I look forward to working alongside each of you as we advance our shared mission of ensuring every child has access to a high-quality education.
