LRA ANNOUNCES ITS 2018 CHAPTER LEADERSHIP

1/5/2018

 
The Louisiana Restaurant Association (LRA) is proud to announce the presidents that will lead its membership in 2018. The LRA is comprised of chapters across the state, each representing a Major Metropolitan Area (MMA). Every year, the chapters’ board of directors elects a member in its ranks to serve as president. This year’s leaders, who volunteer their time and efforts at the highest level, are charged with localizing the overall LRA member experience and cultivating opportunities for growth within the association.
 
The 2018 LRA Chapter Presidents are:
  • Acadiana Chapter (MMA-Lafayette): Linda Arnaud, Senior Relationship Manager at Heartland Payment Systems in Arnaudville. Arnaud has been an LRA member since 2007 and has been an Acadiana Chapter board member for five years.

  •  Greater Baton Rouge Chapter: Kerrie Kikendall, Convention Services Manager at L’Auberge Baton Rouge Casino & Hotel. Kikendall has been an LRA member for five years and became a Greater Baton Rouge board member in 2015.
