I'm especially concerned about the big uptick in lapsed memberships. I know we have come to expect a decline after a presidential election year but I want us to keep growing.</div><div><br></div><div>Do we ever collect data on membership sentiment? For example, how often do we gather data from members about what they like vs. would like to change about the party? </div><div><br></div><div>With all due respect, I think the LNC should spend more time focusing on growing membership and registered voters. Our relentless philosophical debates are exhausting and, in my opinion, often tangential to our responsibilities as a committee. I find it a bit disconcerting there is seldom even a comment on our membership reports.</div><div><br></div><div>We should be capitalizing on the ongoing turmoil in DC to keep growing. If we're not retaining members we're doing something wrong. It reflects larger problems. I would like to figure out what we can do better to 1) make members want to stay and 2) make new people want to join. I think if we spent more of our effort addressing these issues our time would be spent more productively. </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Thank you all for your hard work in defense of liberty,</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>Patrick McKnight</div><div>Chair, NJLP</div><div>LNC - Region 8 Rep</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Jun 1, 2017 at 7:14 PM, Robert Kraus <span><<a href="mailto:robert.kraus@lp.org" target="_blank">robert.kraus@lp.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
