<p>Motions from the Political Division:</p>
<p>Motion to appoint Cody Graves as Legislative Director.</p>
<p><b>Rationale</b>: We have had a vacancy in this role since
Bennett Morris served in this capacity quite some time back. The
opening was mentioned recently in the Classical Liberal Caucus
Discord server. I provided Cody with the role and responsibility
entails from the Political Division directors guide that was
drafted in 2021.</p>
<p>Cody has experience in state legislative races, both House and
Senate, from when he was living in Washington. He also holds dual
degrees in economics and political science from Seattle Pacific
University.<br>
</p>
<p>He is a member of the Libertarian Party of Illinois, although it
appears he is listed among membership twice, one which was done in
2022 and one that was done earlier this year.</p>
<p>Outside the party, he works as a cloud SecDevOps engineer for
T-Rex Solutions, specifically working at Scott Air Force Base. He
is a former U.S. Army Sergeant, and he currently resides in
O'Fallon.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Thanks to ED Justin Tucker for sending Cody in my direction.<br>
</p>
<p><i>I have invited Cody to the meeting, but have not yet received
a response as to his ability to attend the meeting.</i></p>
<p>As this position has voting privileges, I submit this motion for
approval before the LPIL Board of Directors<i>.</i></p>
<p><i><br>
</i></p>
<p><b><u>Action items post-approval</u></b><br>
</p>
<p><b>NOTE TO TREASURER</b>: We will need to make sure we get
LegiScan going again. I know we did in 2021 when Bennett held the
position, but I didn't receive an invoice from them last year. I
can reach out to them and get an invoice for 2023. (If there is a
better legislative platform we could use going forward, I'm open
to suggestions.) If we stick to LegiScan, I will just have them
email the invoice directly to you instead.<br>
</p>
<p><b>NOTE TO IT</b> <b>DIVISION</b>: Cody would need access to the
<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:legislative@lpillnois.org">legislative@lpillnois.org</a> email address at bare minimum<i>. </i>I
am not certain since the LD vacancy when Bennett resigned if those
emails were ever forwarded to me in the interim. Currently
uncertain if he would need access to CiviCRM, so I will leave that
to the Division's discretion.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Nothing else to add at this time. I'll get to work on the
divisional report.<br>
