[Lnc-business] first 2016 LNC meeting date and location?

[Roland Riemers]

While I enjoy the trips about the country for LNC business,  I wonder other then a nice weekend vacation, are we really accomplishing anything?  For instance, in the meeting in Orlando,  will having the meeting there really generate Libertarian interest in the Florida members?   Ditto for the purposed California meeting.   
I think when we do have meetings in the various states,  we should do so to either educate the LNC members of the local Libertarian status,  or to increase local Libertarian support.  If we are not doing either, then lets just figure where we can keep the costs down the best for the party and for the members.  Figure out the easiest and cheapest locations for everyone to meet, and with minimal staff costs.  Maybe in the national HQ,  but maybe it might turn out air fares etc would be cheaper for everyone if we met in Atlanta or Minneapolis,  etc.
As for conflicts with various sporting events, etc.,  who cares.  We all volunteered for this work,  so when the work calls we are obligated to attend.  If it is Super Bowl weekend,  just set up your video recorder and watch it when you get home.
As for a purposed site for February,  I would suggest Minneapolis.  It is a good travel hub, and there is a cheap light rail system that can take us either downtown or to Mall of America.  Hotels are relatively cheap.  Weather of course would be cold, but you really do not have to be outside that much anyway.   
I also think Detroit might be a good site for us to meet sometime,  so we can catch up on what is happening to that distressed city.

  If you want to propose dates and possible locations in advance of the next LNC meeting for a February or March LNC meeting, feel free to make suggestions to consider in advance.
 
 Robert Kraus and I have occasionally proposed dates and locations, only to be met with derision and scorn for conflicting with certain sports events.
 
 A list of 2016 state conventions is here: https://www.lp.org/blogs/staff/2016-state-conventions
 
 Staff is considering the possibility of another training session, possibly in February, and while we would probably attempt to avoid the LNC meeting, that's not 100% required. 
 
 We'd like to announce the date and location in the upcoming LP New if possible. 
 
 Thanks,
