Community Councils

LERA Community Councils provide leadership and governance for individuals in LERA with interests in a particular industry, sector, or practice/policy domain. 

Membership is achieved when joining LERA and selecting a Community Council on the membership form. If you are a renewing member of LERA, you can join a Community Council by updating the selection on your LERA profile.

Community Councils are encouraged to meet in person once a year at the LERA Annual Meetings and virtually as appropriate. 

Councils are encouraged to generate proposals for sessions at the LERA Annual Meetings, webinars on timely topics, updates for LERA Perspectives on Work, programming for LERA Local Chapters, linkage with like-minded groups in society, and other initiatives as appropriate. 

Membership in a LERA Community Council is open to all members of the national LERA. LERA Community Councils, like all of LERA, are unique by bringing together labor, management, government, scholars, and neutrals in dialogue and action on matters of importance to the community.
