[Lnc-business] Expense Reimbursement for Fundraising

[Caryn Ann Harlos]

Nick I do want to continue to grow the Party where I can.  If the ED, Head
of Development, and yourself would like me to continue making myself
available to do these events I will.  Wes is aware of my availabilities and
the potential for a donor sponsor has come up.  If not, that is perfectly
okay as well - I have plenty of opportunities to donate my skills in many
areas.

Thank you for this.  It is deeply appreciated.  I was completely
blind-sided.  I invite staff and yourself to let me know where and when I
can help, and I will.

     Dear All,
     Expense reimbursements to LNC members have been made (and will be
     made
     in the future) according to the rules set out in our policy manual.
     The Chair and/or the Treasurer (depending on the situation) approve
     the expenses and no officer approves his or her own expenses.
     When expense reimbursements for party business are made to a member
     of
     the LNC, they are reported on the related party transactions portion
     of the Treasurer's report.
     As our fundraising infrastructure has improved, there are more
     opportunities for fundraising events than there is availability from
     only staff and the Chair. If LNC members are able to handle events
     at
     the direction of the Executive Director or Head of Development, they
     have been (and will continue to be) reimbursed for their expenses
     associated with those events.
     Membership recruitment is one part of an effective fundraising
     strategy.  When a person makes an initial financial commitment to
     the
     party, they are much more likely to make future financial
     commitments
     over their lifetime (and sometimes at the end of it).
     Absent a change in the policy manual or specific guidance in the
     form
     of a vote of the national committee, it is my intention to proceed
     as
     we have been doing in consultation with the Treasurer, Executive
     Director, and the Head of Development.
     Yours in liberty,
     Nick
