[Lnc-business] February LNC Meeting
Wes Benedict

Wed Dec 23 16:02:32 EST 2015
The LNC would not be petitioning. I'm expecting to have enough signature
before then. Some LNC might help with a publicity event on Friday or
Monday if the signatures are ready to turn in. Other press opportunities
might exist.
I'm fine meeting anywhere.
My usual first place choices for every meeting are New Orleans (close to
my parents & great food), Las Vegas (fun), or DC (I don't have to pack).
I was very pleasantly surprised with how nice Phoenix was last March.
Loved the hotel. So, if you are worried that I'm pushing too hard for
OKC, it's for the great prices and new LP activity there, not for me
personally, although I have many relatives in Oklahoma.
I was previously pushing to combine it with training in San Francisco or
L.A., but could not get consensus. I'd be fine with Washington state,
personally, but it seems like a long long way to fly for most people.
