Louisiana Rugby Membership & Executives
Louisiana Rugby is a membership based nonprofit. The separate clubs act as the voting members, each being allowed to elect a representative to the Board. From that body the Executive Committee is selected. However, non-board members are welcome to participate in all other committees.
