The spring meeting serves as an opportunity for retired educators around the state to connect with one another. This meeting will also include an update from the Teachers’ Retirement System of Louisiana (TRSL), and updates on the 2018 legislative sessions. The LRTA Executive Board will meet at 1:30 p.m. on April 24, 2018, followed by a pre-convention dinner beginning at 6:30 p.m. General sessions begin at 9:00 a.m. on April 25, 2018 and will conclude with a luncheon.
