[Lnc-business] Memo to LP State Chairs: Send us your Affiliate News

[Scott L.]

"Eric,

 

My advice, rip the calendar down, it is embarrassing that there are only a
handful of events on there (especially when there are elections in
November.)  

 

 Brett H. Pojunis    Chairman of the Libertarian Party of Nevada"

 

 

 

 

Given that the calendar is dependent on our affiliates filling it up with
events anyway, I agree with Mr. Pojunis.  Deleting the calendar will save
staff some time, and it would decrease the amount of  extraneous "stuff" on
the web site.  

 

People in California don't care that Rhode Island is holding their monthly
meeting on October whatever, and people in 

Rhode Island don't care that California will be holding its Annual Meeting
in April 2015.

 

If you really need a calendar on  lp.org, have it be ONE PAGE that is
divided into months, and only list  LNC Meetings, 

the National Convention, and maybe the LSLA Meeting.  Setting something like
that up would be simple, and keeping it up to date would literally take 5
minutes per month.

 

 

Much more important would be making sure that our affiliates keep the event
calendars on their own web sites up to date.  This is why it would be really
helpful if we had an affiliate agreement that detailed what the National LP
would provide to our affiliates, AND what the National LP requires of our
affiliates.  That would focus the LNC's attention on fulfilling our side of
the agreement, and it would make it easier for the National LP to
disaffiliate state affiliates that aren't willing to perform even the basic
functions of a political party.
