“Directors are considered under the articles to be members of the corporation. The executive director is an ex-officio nonvoting member of the board of directors. The executive director is responsible for administering the policies of the board.”
“The board is composed of five to seven members, each of whom has to be an attorney in good standing in louisiana, who are elected by the then current directors. Each such elected director becomes a member of the corporation and remains so until he or she ceases to be a director. There is no outside agency or body which names any of the directors. The executive director (or chief operating officer) of the louisiana appellate project is an ex officio member of the board, but without vote. (prior to 11/4/10, the executive director was a full member and chairman of the board, but ceased to hold that voting membership with the amended articles of incorporation.) the directors do not have term limits.”
“THERE ARE NO COMMITTEES.”

“The form 990 will be emailed to all board members for comment before filing.”
“Executive director makes regular inquiries and makes sure that none of the contracts involve directors.”
“The budget committee of the louisiana public defender board (lpdb) looked during the summer of 2007 at the compensation of all of the programs it funded and came up with the current number. The budget committee reported to the lpdb itself, which approved the budget request. By law, none of the public defenders (including those at louisiana appellate project (lap)) may be members of the lpdb and the director is not related to any of those members. The lap board also approved the amount.”
“Articles are recorded with the secretary of state and clerk of court. Bylaws are available on request. The organization's conflict of interest policy is available on request. The organization's financial statements are available to the public on request.”
“All members of the board are volunteers. None of them provide services to clients.”
