The Licensing Executives Society was founded in Florida in 1965 as a professional forum for the exchange of ideas and views on the licensing profession. The Society rapidly grew in North America and soon spread to Europe, Asia, and Australia, where new national organizations were established. In the early 1970s, the need to coordinate the global interests of the societies, their members, and their clients inspired the creation of LES International. Today, there are more than 10,000 members in LESI's 27 member societies.
