[Lnc-business] Possible convention bids discussion

[Sam Goldstein]

We will have the premature release of possible convention locations on
our agenda for tomorrow night.  I think this would be counter productive
because some might get excited about a particular location then be
disappointed if it is eliminated without explanation, which is possible
when dealing with confidential bids.

The current proposals were emailed to all lnc members during our last meeting so you should all already have the proposed dates and locations available to you. It is absolutely possible, and I do anticipate more dates and locations may be added to that prior to our next meeting ,but as of this moment the ones that you have are also the ones that I have seen

I believe that when considering potential dates and locations of the convention, we should be taking feedback from members and state party leadership into consideration as well.
