[Lnc-business] Discussions of Goals and Funding

[Lauren Daugherty]

Thank you, Alex, and others who are willing to pitch in.

As Alex said, fundraising and membership have been growing and I'm very 
proud of our progress; however, there have been a lot of expensive 
investments that quickly use up those dollars.

Right now is prime time to get folks involved while they are excited 
about campaign season.

If you'd like to make phone calls to people in your region and ask them 
to renew, join, or donate, I'd be happy to help facilitate that. We're 
finishing up the personalized donation pages for those of you who asked 
for them.

If you want to help and haven't yet signed an NDA, please connect with 
Robert.

That being using 2019 to focus on identifying and training a volunteer “Field Coordinator” in each of the 50 states leading into 2020. I know we have staff and online resources for training although I think making an effort to train some of the best from each state but also training them to train others would be a good focus and goal in 2019. How should this be approached whether through the staff or by committee existing or new, or even combined with an effort that is already on going I hope we can discuss and develop.

(I’m sure many have or are already assisting in many valuable ways, but especially for the newer members it may be beneficial to staff to know who is ready to be called upon to assist)
