state executive committee
The governing body of an organization, such as a political party, an association, or a trade union, at the level of a federal state.

This word is made up of three parts: 'Land' (state, in the sense of a federal state), the linking '-es', and 'Vorstand' (executive committee). So it literally refers to the executive committee at the level of a state.
Der Landesvorstand einer Partei legt die politische Strategie für das Bundesland fest.
A party's state executive committee sets the political strategy for the federal state.
Although 'Landesvorstand' (state executive committee) consists of several people, the word is used as a collective noun in the singular. The verb in the sentence is therefore also singular.
Der Landesvorstand hat die neuen Richtlinien beschlossen.
The state executive committee has approved the new guidelines.
Common verbs used with 'Landesvorstand' (state executive committee) describe its activities: it can meet, decide, elect, discuss, or issue a recommendation.
Der Landesvorstand tagt einmal im Monat.
The state executive committee meets once a month.
To express membership, you use 'im Landesvorstand sein/sitzen' (to be/sit on the state executive committee). When someone is elected, you say 'in den Landesvorstand gewählt werden' (to be elected to the state executive committee).

'der Vorstand' and 'der Landesvorstand' both mean a governing body. 'Der Vorstand' is the general term and can belong to many organizations, for example an association, a company, or a federation. 'Der Landesvorstand' is more specific: it leads an organization at the level of a federal state. The words can be confused because a Landesvorstand is also a Vorstand. If the regional level does not matter, 'Vorstand' is enough. If it is about leadership in a specific federal state, 'Landesvorstand' is more precise.
Am Freitag trifft sich der Landesvorstand im Büro des Verbandes.
On Friday, the state executive committee is meeting at the association's office.
