[Lnc-business] Definition of Staff

Mon Apr 24 22:54:35 EDT 2017

I don't consider LNC members/officers to be staff.
I do acknowledge that 'staff' is paid, and 'volunteer staff' is not.
I would say that both types of staff members are subject to the will of the
LNC and/or ED when it comes to party-related activities.
