[Lnc-business] Complaint from state affiliate

[Alex Merced (Region 8 Alt)]

I think maybe framing the OP as a complaint started the conversation off on the wrong foot.

If National happens to be doing something in a particular state would it be wise to reach out to the local affiliate to coordinate resources and volunteers? certainly.

I don’t think this should be taken as a slight from National but not communicating with each other can lead us to not take full advantages of opportunities.

I think the point of raising the conversation as I read in the OP was to...

1. Confirm LpUS will be at ProcFest

2. Suggest in the future more deliberate communication with the affiliate (which even the OP state an unsureness of if there was a past communication he may have not been aware of)

I don’t see any need to be defensive on either side.
