Incorporated in 2000, LESI functions as the umbrella organization for national and regional associations, headed by a Board of Directors and International Delegates.
As a non-profit professional organization, LESI supports LES Societies by setting global professional standards, fostering organizational leadership, facilitating networking, providing educational content, and actively engaging with global organizations and policy forums to advocate for the economic significance of the business aspects of IP.
The Past Presidents Council serves as advisory to the LESI Board on issues which the LESI Board may wish to consult including issues which have likely occurred in the past and on which the Council can share past experiences.
The Council provides support to incoming international LESI presidents/president- elects, sharing their experience in leading LESI which hopefully will assist in enhancing the work of the new leaders.
The Council serves as mentor to national societies (other than the past president’s own society), addressing and advising on issues from the national society’s board.
