The LHA membership is divided into seven geographic districts for representation. Each district elects officers and a trustee to the LHA Board of Trustees. Each District, by a two-thirds (2/3) vote of its membership present and voting, adopt bylaws for its governance, which are subject to review and approval by the LHA Board of Trustees. In addition, each District elects from among its voting membership a President, a Secretary-Treasurer and a District Trustee of the Louisiana Hospital Association. 

Each District meets at least three times a year. The LHA President & CEO and/or other LHA executive staff attend these meetings to bring information on new initiatives and projects, as well as to solicit member feedback on LHA activities. All member CEOs or their designees are encouraged to attend these regional meetings for the exceptional networking and informational opportunities they offer.
