[Lnc-business] Fwd: Re: FINAL BYLAWS PACKET

[Elizabeth Van Horn]

Joe, that's a good list.

I'd also like everyone to consider Chris Wiest.  He's the Chair of LP 
Kentucky, a lawyer who's worked on multiple cases on behalf of 
Libertarian Party members. Chris has attention to detail, a good eye for 
streamlining, and is able to negotiate through a disagreement.  Chris 
Wiest is a solid choice.

An applicant I was impressed with is Albert Veldhuyzen of Virginia. He 
has an amazing stance and opinions stated in his application.  Plus, a 
history that I think would lend to being an asset to the committee.  (I 
realize he doesn't meet the threshold of having attended at least one 
previous convention, but I think he should be considered.)

Cheers all,
EVH
