[Lnc-business] Update on Convention A/V Contract

[Elizabeth Van Horn]

Thank you Erin, the information is appreciated.  (A company name) 

Now, I think 2020 is not an ordinary year.  The types of contracts that
can be had won't be ordinary either.  (The Rosen contract is a prime
example.)  I don't see how it would hurt to see IF a better contract can
be obtained.

Our current av contract as well as the relationship that was built with the vendor, put us in a much better situation to truly be able to negotiate not just pay the process lip service. Under the current contract there are many many many services being provided at no cost to us that we will not be able to achieve through a psav contract in my opinion
