National sustaining membership is a strategic means toward the mission in that it gives donations to the party; a list of potential donors, activists, and candidates to the affiliates; and more people with a connection to the Libertarian Party which they may discuss with their family & friends.

Do we care? This term, we have not adopted goals, but we did last term - and increasing or maintaining memberships wasn't on the list. I'm not being sarcastic here, I'm being serious - maybe memberships is not a metric we find all that illuminating. Sure, we need funds, and paid memberships are one way of obtaining funds, but only one way. They're a way that non-profits, seemingly across the board, have found to be declining in importance and value. Maybe that's part (I think most things that happen are over-determined and we should look for patterns, not 1-1 relationships) of what this declining number is telling us.<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1502424905873_90683"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1502424905873_90684">I agree we should not simply expect a drop in support following the Presidential year.

If that's true, then we should start now to plan what our organization can look like in 10 years with a different model. Personally, I think that regardless of what millennials do, we should be making those plans, because a membership model is a temporary solution, not one that will always be best once we've attained a certain size and level of success. </div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1502424905873_90689"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1502424905873_90690">I don't know that membership is a useful thing to watch while driving, so to speak.
