Ernest N. Morial Exhibition Hall Authority:
The Ernest N. Morial New Orleans Convention Center is governed by the Ernest N. Morial Exhibition Hall Authority (the Authority), an independent political subdivision of the State of Louisiana created in 1978 by Act 305 subsequently amended). The Authority’s exclusive mission is to finance, construct and operate facilities in order to attract and conduct conventions, trade shows and other events that support and expand the economy of both the State of Louisiana and New Orleans Region. The Authority is composed of a 12-member board of commissioners, nine appointed by the Governor of Louisiana, and three appointed by the Mayor of New Orleans.
The operations of the convention and exhibition centers are through the New Orleans Public Facility Management, Inc. (NOPFMI), a separately incorporated organization, doing business as the New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center. Under the present management agreement between the Authority and NOPFMI, the Authority reimburses NOPFMI for costs of operating the convention and exhibition center, and NOPFMI will neither own assets nor retain revenues. The NOPFMI is a blended component unit of the Authority.
