[Lnc-business] Motion to appoint Erin Adams to the Social Media Process Committee

Fri Dec 22 20:44:48 EST 2017

Hello All, 

> Caryn Ann, I appreciate you mentioning the work I've already put into the Social Media Process Review Committee.  Yes, I would like to stay on the Social Media Process Review Committee. 

I realized when Brett resigned that an LNC spot had opened on the SMPRC.
 Likewise, I realized when I was appointed to the LNC, that a non-LNC
spot had also opened on the SMPRC.  

So, two spots became open:   

1)  An LNC-member spot
2)  A non-LNC-member spot.

I'm no longer able to be in the non-LNC member position.  But, would
like to be able to be in the open LNC member position.  I also
understand that this will take a vote from the LNC, as I recall reading
the LNC notes when Erin Adams was appointed to her LNC-alt position.
Erin had been on the COC as a non-LNC member.  It took an LNC vote to
move her to the status of an LNC-member on the same committee.  Which
made sense, as Erin had already been doing that committee work. 

For those who aren't familiar with my prior LP volunteer work, I've been
a social media volunteer for the LP since 2013. (With a short break due
to a death in my family) I assist with social media both for the
national LP (where I started) and my state (LPIN) social media team.  It
may not be apparent to those who don't work within social media, but
there are layers of nuance, protocols, and best practices (which are
often changing) of which I'm knowledgeable.  The idea of the SMPRC
originated with the LNC prior to me being an LNC member.  I was
fortunate to be suggested as a good choice to the LNC members on the
committee, and was subsequently interviewed, and appointed to the
committee.  

I'd like to stay on the SMPRC, and am asking the LNC to consider the
above and vote as you see fit.

LNC Region 3 (IN, MI, OH, KY)

My Gmail account only picks up new messages from my LP mailbox every so often, maybe every 30-60 minutes.  The messages don't arrive real-time in my Gmail.  So even though Caryn Ann sent her messages almost 30 minutes earlier than I sent mine, I didn't see her messages until after I had sent mine.  I was briefly wondering how I missed those...then I "figgered" it out.
