Welcome to the web site of the Louisville Compensation Association (LCA). LCA is a professional organization whose mission is to enhance the expertise of our members and advance the art and science of total compensation management. LCA was formed out of a need to exchange information about total compensation trends and practices in an on-going professional atmosphere. LCA is affiliated with WorldatWork, formerly the American Compensation Association.
