2023 LRTA State Fall Meeting
Louisiana retired educators are invited to attend the 2023 LRTA State Fall Meeting taking place October 16-17, 2023 at the Embassy Suites in Baton Rouge, LA. The theme is Louisiana Lagniappe! Wear your best hat or create a one of a kind unique hat for a fun contest. We will vote on the best hats on day two of the meeting, and prizes will be awarded!
This year’s meeting will provide a variety of informational sessions with awards, door prizes and a silent auction. The event will host guest speakers, Senator Ed Price and Katherine Whitney, TRSL Director. Additionally we are excited to have a special guest performance by musician and storyteller, James Linden Hogg, and a much anticipated presentation delivered by historian and political figure, Jay Dardenne–both which you will not want to miss!
Attendees must pre-register for the convention banquet dinner by October 9, 2023. Although on-site registration is available, pre-registration will ensure that you will receive a packet containing your name tag and other meeting materials upon arrival.
