The North Star Chapter of the Labor and Employment Relations Association (or, d.b.a. North Star LERA) is a 501(c)(3) organization incorporated in the state of Minnesota as a nonprofit corporation. North Star LERA’s articles of incorporation were filed in July 2024, and its current bylaws were approved in August 2024.
It is governed by an elected, volunteer Board of Directors consisting of Officers and At-Large Directors who serve 2-year terms. There are no term limits. As authorized by the chapter bylaws, in August 2024 the inaugural Board of Directors determined that there shall be four officer roles:
- President
- 1st Vice President
- 2nd Vice President
- Secretary-Treasurer
The Officers should be drawn from all three of LERA’s constituency groups (labor, management, neutral/others). The inaugural Board of Directors also determined that there should be nine At-Large Directors consisting of three people from each of the three constituency groups. Approximately half of the officers and At-Large Directors are elected each year. Elections are held during a membership meeting in the second quarter of the year.
A subset of Board members and interested chapter members plan events. If you would like to get involved, please contact an Officer or email NorthStar@LERAchapter.org.
