[LPIL - Board of Directors] Survey 2023

[chair at lpillinois.org]

Hello All,

The following is the agenda item regarding our agenda item of discussion 
last night. The survey will be done in an effort between Field Ops, 
Communications, IT, and the executive committee. Blake, please let me 
know how we are looking to proceed with Field Ops leading this effort. 
I'd first suggest any folks in these respective divisions listed below 
share their recommended survey questions or anyone on the BOD may 
respond to this email with them as well. I know the elections were 
tiring but we've had a break now and can get to this business item.


"Adding to the agenda, I move to direct Field Operations to work with 
Communications, IT Division, and the Executive Committee to assemble and 
conduct a membership survey by the end of 2022. The survey should gather 
member feedback about the following topics:
- Preferred communication channels
- Local chapter needs
- Candidate support and outreach
- LPIL messaging
- National LP messaging
- Strategic priorities for 2023 through 2024
- Whether or not the LP of Illinois should disaffiliate from the 
Libertarian National Committee


Rationale:
I've seen enough from our unprofessional, immature, and incompetent LNC. 
I would argue that our state is the most professionally led and 
well-managed in the country. While I would love to go straight to a 
motion to disaffiliate from the national party, I would want to do our 
due diligence as a body to hear from our membership before acting as a 
State Central Committee. Regardless of the results of the question about 
disaffiliation, I believe conducting this survey would be a valuable 
exercise to gather helpful feedback about how the party can make 
improvements and add value to our members, candidates, donors, and local 
chapters with or without our already limited engagement with national."

Please reach out with any questions, comments, or concerns.

Thank you,

Chase Renwick
Chair, LPIL
