[Lnc-business] Communication Between National and Affiliates

[Craig Bowden]

To all:

I wanted to bring up an issue right quick. I know I have largely been 
silent the last while. Between real life and the campaign, there was 
little time.

I sent a couple of messages to individuals earlier, but would like to 
address the body as a whole.

The subject is that we need to make sure that we are taking effort as a 
national body to loop in state parties when we are doing something in 
their backyard from National.

The reason I bring this up is that there is an event in Salt Lake City, 
UT that the Utah Executive Committee knew nothing about until they 
received invites in their inboxes.

The reason for this being important on coordination is so that:
1. The state affiliate feels like they are important to our overall 
efforts.
2. We can better coordinate manpower if needed.
3. Promoting the event can be better handled.
4. We can ensure that there are not meetings or events double booked on 
the day.
5. Cohesion is a good thing

Whether it is a member of the board or one of the LP employees doing the 
event coordination, it is important that we have communication first so 
that people aren't caught off guard with something, especially if it is 
an officially sponsored event.

Respectfully,
Craig Bowden
