<div dir='auto'>I was informed that recently a party member chose to purchase a membership as a gift for the current sitting president and said membership was refused. I realize some will say that that membership may have not been consensual however if that is the door we're going to open, then every gift membership that has been purchased for another without the express written consent prior must also be refused. If that is the door we want to open I am fine and comfortable to have that discussion, however in doing so please understand that what we will actually be saying is that this board or our chair or our staff do indeed have the power to decide to not honor a membership and that in fact is the underlying question before us in my opinion</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Dec 29, 2019 12:02 PM, Caryn Ann Harlos <carynannharlos@gmail.com> wrote:<br type="attribution" /><blockquote class="quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div><div dir="auto">What are you referring to Ms Adams?</div></div><div><br /><div class="elided-text"><div dir="ltr">On Sun, Dec 29, 2019 at 11:01 AM Erin Adams <<a href="mailto:erin.adams@lp.org">erin.adams@lp.org</a>> wrote:<br /></div><blockquote style="margin:0 0 0 0.8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="auto"><div dir="auto">In my capacity as the Region 7 alternate, I vote no. </div><div dir="auto"><br /></div><div dir="auto">My Region Representative can , as always, cast a differing vote nullifying mine if she so chooses, however as this vote is SOLELY to determine if the chairs ruling is "correct" or not , and, I am being told that at LEAST one membership in recent past has been refused by the office, (a membership purchased for DJT) and it is the chairs stance that we can not refuse although we have refused during our chairs tenure, I vote no.</div><div dir="auto"><br /><div data-smartmail="gmail_signature" dir="auto">Erin Adams Region 7 alt.</div></div><div><div><br /><blockquote style="margin:0 0 0 0.8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><p dir="ltr">
