[Lnc-business] EMAIL BALLOT 200524-01: Authorize Signing of Orlando Contract

[Caryn Ann Harlos]

And Mr Longstreth you misread this motion.  It does not require immediate
signing.  It merely transfers the authority now held by our chair to the
officers.

That is all.

If you would like a reworded motion tell me the wording and I will make it.

We have to stop finding roadblocks.  I respect concerns and let’s fix them.

Give me your wording please.

We cannot keep dragging this out.  The members are sick and tired of our
inefficiency
