<div>And here is another reason- to say no plans is simply not accurate. Perhaps I just see more of what is happening since I interact with staff more than usual and am on the APRC (which means I see every single piece of output). The staff effort is amazing. Lauren, Jess, and Andy are bringing us to a new level of professionalism and thus attractiveness. There has been several years of branding and infrastructure building. The press secretary position will add another dimension. Nurturing relationships with larger donors (we have to have funds to do anything) is from what I can see better than ever.</div><div><br></div><div>You get much more support by realistically assessing what we are doing well, and what can be a lot better otherwise it is basically just scolding people and ignoring what we have done.</div><div><br></div><div>I think Larry would tell us that's not how to motivate to greatness. </div><div><br></div><div>Some of the things done have been stunning.

But I'm not sure why you are getting so defensive, with all due respect this isn't about "you". This is about the fact we are a national organizations without a national strategy to stop losing members. Is our national strategy for LNC members to call people in their free time? That's a nice gesture but I don't see that as a solution. I suspect there is something wrong with our brand and the way we are messaging our principles.
