I am good with Caryn’s suggested revision.
Others?

Subject: [Lnc-business] Policy Manual - Regional Representatives
I am starting this new chain for the discussion on David's proposal to add a section to the Policy Manual on Regional Representatives. This was David's initial working proposal as a starting point:
LNC regional representatives and alternates who serve at the pleasure of the region member state chairs are encouraged to provide a transparent channel that facilitates mutually supportive communication between the LNC and officers and members of the regional state organizations. Actual regional organization policies are left to the discretion of and agreement between the member state chairs and their regional representatives and alternates.
I suggest this change:
LNC Regional Representatives and Alternates who serve at the pleasure of their Region, as specified in the Region Formation Agreement, are encouraged to provide a transparent channel that facilitates mutually supportive communication between the LNC and Officers and members of the regional state affiliates. Actual regional organization policies and additional duties are left to the discretion of and agreement between the member state chairs and their Regional Representatives and Alternates.

Thanks Caryn. Can you provide an alternative example and how we might modify the proposed statement to address that alternative?
Thoughts?

Yes that is what I was thinking- a policy manual section.
David also, not all reps serve at the pleasure of the state chairs- that is the default. The region agreement can specify otherwise.

Thanks Sam – makes sense to put it in the policy manual. What is the procedure to get a Regional Representative responsibilities statement added to the policy manual?
By the way, the original idea for the following suggested policy statement came from the fertile mind of Brett Bittner, Region 3 Representative. Thanks Brett!
LNC regional representatives and alternates who serve at the pleasure of the region member state chairs are encouraged to provide a transparent channel that facilitates mutually supportive communication between the LNC and officers and members of the regional state organizations. Actual regional organization policies are left to the discretion of and agreement between the member state chairs and their regional representatives and alternates.
Any suggested revisions to the above text?

David, can you start a new thread with the right title? This is still under "electronic email ballot" and will be impossible to find in the future.

David,
The LNC has no power to change the By-Laws, only the delegates in convention. The LNC can amend the Policy Manual so it might be best to look for a place to insert your suggested Regional Representative responsiblities language in that document. There are very few mentions of Regional Reps in the current language and the only responsibility outlined is the Regional Report to be submitted prior to every LNC meeting.
Having a definition inserted in the Policy Manual would help future newbies in determining their role and might encourage more people to seed a spot from their region.

Alicia – Thank you for very clear and unambiguous instructions and procedures on LNC email balloting – very helpful to us newcomers on the board!
On a similar but separate subject, at your convenience when your schedule is not so crazy, I would appreciate receiving similar instructions and procedures excerpted from the bylaws or elsewhere in LNC documentation that clearly delineates the roles and responsibilities of regional representatives and their alternates. With Caryn Ann Harlos’ help, I see some of region structure mechanical details. However, I have not been able to locate any LNC documentation that spells out regional representative and alternate roles and responsibilities.
Caryn Ann and I have discussed a possible default description of regional representative and alternate roles and responsibilities. I submit the following for discussion:
LNC regional representatives and alternates who serve at the pleasure of the region member state chairs are encouraged to provide a transparent channel that facilitates mutually supportive communication between the LNC and officers and members of the regional state organizations. Actual regional organization policies are left to the discretion of and agreement between the member state chairs and their regional representatives and alternates.
Question: Should the above be offered as a motion or as an amendment to the bylaws? If a motion is appropriate, in addition to Caryn, are there two more board members that would like to co-sponsor such a motion following discussion and revisions?
Thoughts?
