Spring Conference 2011 - Invitation

Dear Facility Colleagues,

My name is Stan Silverii, LAPPA President 2010-2011. I would like to take this opportunity to invite you and all facilities personnel across the State to join LAPPA (Louisiana Association of Physical Plant Administrators). The LAPPA organization welcomes all facility related professionals in K-12, Higher Education, and State facilities management. We invite participation from all levels of management and various industry leaders. In opening the lines of communication, we may be able to assist each other in providing insight to the day-to-day hurtles that we all face in facility operations.

On Thursday, May 19 & Friday, May 20, LAPPA will be hosting the 2011 Spring Conference in New Orleans. Vendors are invited to set up booths in order to provide information on their products and/or services. Sessions will be held by various professionals on a variety of topics in our industry.

Our conference agenda is attached. A registration form will be sent to you by email. There are no membership fees to join LAPPA. To learn more about our organization, please visit http://www.lappa.us/.
We look forward to meeting you at the Spring Conference.

Sincerely,

Stan Silverii
President

LAPPA website moved to new location

We have moved LAPPA website from LSU-HSC to LSU-BR. We thank IT personnel (Jason Edelen) at Shreveport for their assistance in this move. Since the old site needed updates, we used the opportunity to move the data to a different template. Hope you like the look. Be sure to comment/suggest improvements.

The new site can be accessed at
http://lappa.lsu.edu

or http://www.lappa.us

Inform your colleagues about this move. If they are have not received updates about the Fall 2010 meeting, this blog, or the new website, they should contact us at lappa@lsu.edu.

We will update the jobs link, when we develop a better way to aggregate postings at common Louisiana HR sites. Also, the photo gallery will be updated after the current set of images are collated.

We have requested Shreveport to redirect all traffic to LAPPA site to http://www.lappa.us . We will have SRAPPA update its Louisiana link to the current site.

Help! Some of the information/links may be archaic. Please review the site for inaccuracies/broken links etc and update the admin here or at lappa@lsu.edu . We hope to cleanup the site by the Fall 2010 meeting.
