A special Executive Committee meeting was called by the new chair, Marv Rudin on Monday, March 23, 1998. The purpose of this meeting was to make up for some time lost due to the late election and to come to a meeting of the minds regarding the upcoming year. The meeting was successful in laying a foundation for consensus on our direction for 1998. The goal is LP growth.
Growth is to be measured by increases in registered Libertarian voters.
Consensus also seemed near on some principles of action including 1. The Chair reported on articles for the newsletter, publicity actions including interviews and press releases, Tax Day preparations, and email discussions. The Treasurer submitted a proposed budget for 1998. This proposal is a starting point for discussion. The Treasurer also discussed the status of our two telephone lines at the office, one of which has been held unused for several months because of an agreement last year with the LPC Chair.
