[Lnc-business] Caryn Ann Harlos fundraising and membership recruitment

[Caryn Ann Harlos]

I dislike strife or any issue of even an appearance of a conflict and if I
declare for a position I do not want to have the stress of having to second
guess any “benefit.”

So though I think this was fruitful, once and if I’m a declared candidate
it is not something I want to deal with.  My goal in my positions is to be
beyond reproach.  So sadly Wes I decline to do any more this season.  If I
go to any as a guest or for other reasons I will of course still recruit as
I have done if the affiliate allows and as I have done faithfully for my
tenure.

We have so much else to do that I don’t wish for us to have to go round and
round on this.  So I will simply withdraw my participation.  We now have a
successful test case to do on off years and I would consider it again in
2019.

I will continue to recruit as always it just will not be my primary
purpose.  I don’t want the stress if there is even a slightest question.
It will harm my performance and my tranquility. I would rather be free to
speak freely and be at peace.

   My main purpose in these trips is memberships.  While an invited guest
   my main purpose is whatever the affiliate requests and memberships are
   secondary if the affiliate allows it.  I go in as budget as possible -
   only stay the amount of time needed (at a multi-day for instance it
   would be one day etc)  WA didn’t plan on me being there - I approached
   them.  I do think that is a difference.  Same thing with CA or TX- I
   haven’t even asked them yet.
   That is a crucial difference that I think is important - critically so.
