[Lnc-business] February LNC Meeting

[Scott L.]

The Libertarian National Committee makes the final decision on Libertarian
Party Convention sites.

 

There are no properties in Oklahoma City on the final list of contenders for
our 2018 National Convention.


If we choose to have our last full-weekend LNC Session of this term in
Oklahoma City, that means the LNC will not get to see any of the finalist
hotels for our 2018 Convention before we have to vote to choose that site.

 


If we meet in Phoenix in February, we can tour two of those finalists.

 

Obviously the site of the February LNC Session should have been decided
several months ago.

 

 

However, since we have gone this long without choosing a site, we should
wait another 12 or 13 days so that we can get proposals from the hotels that
are on our short list for a 2018 Convention site.  Remember - since they are
contenders for something approaching $100,000 worth of our business, they
will probably be willing to give us a very good room rate and meeting room
rental fee for our LNC Session.  Heck - they might even be able to match the
$80 rate that the Executive Director mentions below.

Robert found a couple of properties in OKC with rooms at around the
$80/night level, free breakfast, and the meeting space is free or just a
couple hundred dollars or so. That would be the least expensive LNC meeting
in a long time. We could sign a deal right away if you'd like.

Helms Briscoe says they don't expect proposals the week of Christmas. So, we
can wait to see what comes up with Helms Briscoe later, and compare those to
the OKC options, or go with OKC now.

Since we don't yet have a plan for a February meeting location, I just
emailed our 2018 site search agent asking her to find out if any of the
short-list options might have available space for the Feb 20 weekend.
(Cities are:  Atlantic City, NJ; New Orleans, LA; Phoenix, AZ; Bellevue, WA)
I indicated that time is of the essence, so they should send us their offers
quickly if they're available.

Sam, at least as of a week ago I don't think staff has been asked to
research any locations. Copying Robert to verify. I proposed San Francisco
recently but got zero interest from the LNC.

I found a great place in Oklahoma City for $79 per night if you all are
interested. Best Western Saddleback. Nice meeting space and free breakfast.
Southwest Airlines doesn't charge change fees if you need to change your
flight. I flew into the ice storm Saturday after Thanksgiving and the people
there didn't seem to panic even with downed power lines and trees
everywhere. Was nice to be able to change flight just in case though
