[LPIL - Board of Directors] LPIL BoD Meeting 8/23 7:30 PM

[Jake Leonard]

Motions from the Political Division:

Motion to appoint Cody Graves as Legislative Director.

*Rationale*: 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.

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.

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.

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.


Thanks to ED Justin Tucker for sending Cody in my direction.

/I have invited Cody to the meeting, but have not yet received a 
response as to his ability to attend the meeting./

As this position has voting privileges, I submit this motion for 
approval before the LPIL Board of Directors/./

*_Action items post-approval_*

*NOTE TO TREASURER*: 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.

*NOTE TO IT* *DIVISION*: Cody would need access to the 
legislative at lpillnois.org email address at bare minimum/. /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.


Nothing else to add at this time. I'll get to work on the divisional report.
