[Lnc-business] Draft #2 - Outreach Committee Proposal

[david.demarest at lp.org]

I agree with Mr. Bowden. Mr. Merced's motion is a well-thought-out and timely initiative to address outreach needs and perhaps enhance our messaging technique strategy.

Pending the final version, I will co-sponsor the motion.
