Cynthia Cockerham would like to continue her part-time employment as Executive Director of the LaSalle Economic Development District (LEDD) after she retires from her position as a community development educator with the LSU AgCenter in West Carroll Parish. In 2011, Ms. Cockerham accepted a job assignment, with the approval of the LSU AgCenter, as Executive Director of LEDD, a political subdivision of the State of Louisiana created pursuant to La. R.S. 33:130.201. An agreement was reached between the AgCenter and LEDD which provided that she work 80% of her time for LEDD and 20% of her time for the AgCenter. Through this agreement, LEDD reimburses the AgCenter for 80% of her time, benefits, travel and supplies as related to the educational programming.
