To support our advocacy and membership activities, the LRA is comprised of nine chapters throughout the state. Each chapter is governed by a board of directors and led by a chapter president who is elected annually. Each chapter is also serviced by a Regional Director and Chapter Member Services Coordinator. 

The LRA Chapters’ purpose is to:
• Localize member experience
• Develop and cultivate leaders in the restaurant industry
• Provide knowledgeable guest speakers
• Present ideas, with a best practices exchange
• Support advocacy efforts at the local level and through Hospitality PAC contribution
• Promote philanthropy and  a connection with the LRA Education Foundation
