[Lnc-business] Fwd: AV Contract for Orlando

[Sam Goldstein]

---

Dear LNC, 

The COC has sent the AV contract to the Chair for his signature.  The
contract has been approved by both the COC and LNC Counsel Oliver Hall
and has been signed by the AVG.  The AVG has stated that they need the
contract signed by the LNC Chair or other authorized person no later
than June 22nd in order to prepare for the convention. 

The Chair ordered COC Chair BetteRose Ryan last week to seek another AV
bid from the hotel's AV provider, PSAV, without once again consulting
the COC.  Ms. Ryan did so last week and gave PSAV a deadline to respond
of end of business on July 12th.  No bid was provided but PSAV did
provide a cost estimate for electrical work that they are required to do
and also an estimate for rigging which we won't need with the AVG
contract.  Just for comparison, PSAV charges about three times the rate
for labor as AVG does in our contract. 

I would like to know if the Chair intends to either sign the approved AV
contract or authorize Mr. Kraus to sign it tomorrow.  If the Chair
refuses to do then I intend to issue a call for an electronic meeting to
be held ASAP to authorize another LNC officer to sign the AV contract. 

Live Free,
