[Lnc-business] Removal of Convention Oversight Committee Chair

[Caryn Ann Harlos]

We don't disagree.  And I believe it will be brought up at convention.  The
convention he refused he chair.

*In Liberty,*

communication skills in both personal and electronic arenas.  If anyone
found anything offensive or overly off-putting (or some other social faux
pas), please contact me privately and let me know. *
