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

[Vicki Kirkland]

Colleagues:

First let me say I think Los Angeles would be a great place to have our
first 2016 LNC meeting.
It's been a long time since the LNC has met in California, and I say it's
about time.   We have
a huge number of members in California, and with the problems they are
having with Top Two,
meeting there would be a morale booster for them.
Concerning our upcoming meeting in Orlando, the reason I suggested it was
so that the many
new LNC members who had never seen the 2016 Convention hotel would have an
opportunity
to do so.
These are my thoughts.  Others are free to weigh in with theirs.

Regards,
Vicki Kirkland
Region 2 Rep LNC
