A short reminder regarding decorum
by Nicholas Sarwark 29 Oct '19

29 Oct '19

Dear All, I expect that members of the Libertarian National Committee will disagree with each other with respect. I expect that after the Libertarian National Committee comes to a decision on an issue, be it the purchase of an office or the choice to make a goal a certain number of candidates running for public office, that every member of the committee will either support the goal or at least stop trying to publicly fight against it after they've lost. I expect that every member of the Libertarian National Committee will be polite and respectful to the rest of the members and to the national office staff. If anyone is unwilling or unable to meet these expectations, I will happily accept your resignation from the Libertarian National Committee and wish you the best of luck in whatever future endeavors you choose. Yours in liberty, Nicholas J. Sarwark Chair, Libertarian National Committee

March End-of-Month Financial Reports
by Tim Hagan 02 May '19

02 May '19

The March End-of-Month Financial Reports are attached. The Policy Manual, page 7, says: "Reserve" is calculated as the total cash balance less the sum of all restricted funds and accounts payable at month end. The reserve formula in these reports was changed to match this Policy Manual definition. It no longer includes Prepaid Expenses nor Deferred Revenue. Including the Prepaid Convention Expenses and Deferred Convention Revenue in the formula should require a change to the Policy Manual. Other Accrued Expenses are essentially the same as accounts payable, so I included them in the formula. The reserve for March is calculate from numbers on pages 9 and 10 thusly: Reserve = Total Cash - (Temp. Restricted Balances + Accounts Payable + Other Accrued Expenses) = 34168.75 - (13706.53 + 8471.70 + 13872.50) = -1881.98 I updated the reserve chart on the bottom of page 3 to show the reserve for the past two years using this formula. --- Tim Hagan Treasurer, Libertarian National Committee

New Region 1 Alternate Elected
by Richard Longstreth 26 Apr '19

26 Apr '19

Attention Fellow LNC Members: The election results of our final ballot are now available. In addition to this email, they may be found by following this link: https://www.opavote.com/results/6216086108241920 In order to be elected to position, the Regional Agreement indicates that a majority (6) of state chairs must elect the individual. Applications for the Region 1 Alternate were accepted until March 16. We held several rounds of voting with the 4th Round ending yesterday. Results are as follows: 10 State Voted, 1 State did not vote (Wyoming did not participate) Johnny Adams received 6 votes Drew A. Layda received 4 votes This means that Johnny has been elected to fulfill the role as the Alternate until the 2020 Convention in Austin. I am very confident in his abilities to help me and you all advance our Region and offer him congratulations. We will be touching base in the coming weeks so look for future emails about some directions we may want to go. I would be remiss if I did not mention what an outstanding candidate Drew Layda was. His dedication to setting the world free should be applauded and I am happy that he will continue his efforts on several committees and projects he is currently engaged in, including the 2020 National Convention Oversight Committee among other things. Both candidates were very patient with the process as were all of you. Thank you and I am happy to have an alternate who can help me engage with the largest Region in the country! -------------- QUESTION: How do I need to go about assiting Johnny in getting his LNC email and onto the website? -- Richard Longstreth Region 1 Representative (AK, AZ, CO, HI, KS, MT, NM, OR, UT, WA, WY) Libertarian National Committee richard.longstreth(a)lp.org 931.538.9300
