VISIT THE VILLAGE!

The LaMATS Village, where our family of trusted vendor partners gathers during every LMA Convention, looks forward to welcoming all 2026 LMA members to Monroe with open arms and helping hands.

Visit the Village to find our dedicated staff and partners ready to offer support and solutions to the needs of your communities.

And be sure to attend our two workshops on August 6th, both in the Caldwell/Franklin Room at the Monroe Civic Center:

• Mayoral Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency with LaMATS, CPEX and Groundswell from 10:30 – 11:45;

• Occupational License Program from 1:45 – 3:00 p.m.

Established as the technical services arm of the Louisiana Municipal Association, LaMATS and our partners assist local governments with purchasing and electronic bidding; insurance premium tax collection; surplus property sales and auction; blight and brownfields remediation; capital outlay consulting; vendor discounts; drone imaging; and affordable energy solutions. Together, we are here to promote and strengthen the development of your community.
