Meetups group/events

-In Kristin’s absence, Matt H will take over scheduling the monthly Brion’s meetups, and Laura will also post things as the need arises.
-Discussion of the end goal of the meetups. Fellowship, party building, keep people interested, (ones with speakers) provide educational element.
Old Business
Phone Banking
-Did not happen (except for Paul B). Mostly due to it being something for people to do on their own. Tough for people to cold-call with no peer pressure. Net positive: we were advertising incorrect dates in the call script.
Convention
-Chris B is able to host the annual contention on Saturday 11/12 at his residence in Herndon. He will handle the chairs/tables/pizza.
-Rod S will send out an email soliciting suggested changes to the bylaws and compile the results.
-Rod s will collect/chair the portion of the convention dealing with the by-laws.
-Matt C will write a letter soliciting by-law amendments, along with convention info. We have special ‘donate’ envelopers already. Matt C will reach out to Chuck M for help on printing.
-Matt H will schedule a meetup for early October so we can stuff envelopes.
New Business
Vice Chair resignation
Since Kristin P has resigned, a motion was made (who? Does it matter for purposes of the minutes?) for Matt H to assume the position until the convention in November.
October Meeting
-The October LPNOVA Board Meeting will be October 8th, at the George Mason library in Annandale.
November Meeting
-The November LPNOVA Board Meeting will probably be moved/skipped, due to people being otherwise engaged with Mike Kane’s election that week.
Kane for Delegate campaign
-Mike K has requested $500 from LPNOVA for help with campaign expenses.
-Mike K to come up with a proposed budget plan (or purchase orders) of how he wants to spend any monetary help from LPNOVA. (Right? I might be missing notes.)
Action Items
-Laura D and Chuck M will report any facebook ad buyings to Rod.
-Laura D to get Burke Festival pictures from Matt C and Mike K, post to website. Fill the void.
-Mike K to create budget plan to present to board/Matt C
-Rod S will send out an email soliciting suggested changes to the bylaws and compile the results.
-Matt C will write a letter about the convention to send out.
-Matt C will reach out to Chuck M for help on printing letter for convention.
