LP Bylaws

 

ARTICLE 5: MEMBERSHIP 

 

     3.  "Sustaining member" is any Party member who has given at least $25
to the Party in the prior twelve months, or who is a life member.  

 

 

If the LNC gets down on its hands and knees and begs, maybe we can get the
2016 Convention to amend the above Bylaw so that the National LP can offer
similar short-term membership promotions.

 

Obviously I would want the Executive Director to tell us that he thinks that
said discounts would give us a positive ROI.

 

The basic idea would be that the Bylaw would set a floor, a maximum
allowable increase per LNC term, and allow for up to four weeks per LNC term
of discounts of not more than say, 33%.

 

If you don't understand the "hands and knees and begs reference":  it has to
with a prior LNC

raising the annual dues to $50, and then a few months later lowering the
annual dues to $0.  

 

Needless to say - the delegates at the following National Convention were
not amused.

 

The National LP dues were first raised to $25 per year in February 1991.  If
they were merely increased to keep up with inflation, they would now be $44
per year.

Stolen from the State Chairs e-mail list:

 

"give you guys a small update on our 17.76 promo...we have had 8 new people
join the party in less than 24 hours...
