[Lnc-business] Regional meetings

[Richard Longstreth]

For informational purposes, the R1 agreement from 18 says my term began at
the close of the NOLA convention and ends at the close of the 20 convention.

How we are doing this: We will have the agreement done on time. If the
convention closes out this weekend, we have provisions for state chairs to
fill vacancies. If it doesn't, we will probably be doing a meeting in June
with the delegates to elect which I preside over as the current rep. The
next term according to our 20 agreement begins at the close of the national
convention.

Region 1 Representative (AK, AZ, CO, HI, KS, MT, NM, OR, UT, WA, WY)
