state association
An organization that represents the interests of its members or subordinate local groups at the level of a federal state. State associations are typical structural units of political parties, clubs, or other organizations in federal countries.

The word is made up of 'Landes-' (derived from 'das Land', here in the sense of a federal state) and 'der Verband' (an organization). So it literally describes an association at the level of a federal state.

A genitive attribute is very often used to describe more precisely which association is meant. This structure is typical of official names.
