MEET OUR EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE

The Louisiana Law Enforcement Torch Run is run by a Torch Run Director and State Committee. At the direction of the Torch Run Leadership, the LETR Executive Committee meets regularly and includes key LETR members from across the state. The committee is responsible for providing input and insight to the statewide efforts and helping to communicate information back to their local agencies.

Our Law Enforcement Executive Committee members have years of Special Olympics and Torch Run experience between them.  Their goal is to serve as a resource to agencies who are new to the Torch Run or are interested in increasing their involvement through fundraising and public awareness.
