A Note From The Chair
From April 25th to April 27th at Treehaven near Tomahawk, WI, the Libertarian Party of Wisconsin will convene at its annual membership convention, as required by our Constitution and Bylaws (CBL), in order to revise and reform our documents, like the CBL and once in a while our platform. We also meet to renew old friendships, and also to make new connections and new friends with other like-minded people. We have other duties as needed or demanded.
Among them, every odd-numbered year, we select new Party officers and other members of our Executive Committee (Excom) and appoint other support positions. The current Excom the past two years has had its struggles, honestly, but it also has had some amazing successes for our Party, things which we needed to invent, establish, and structure for growth and future success.
With the accomplishments, like Nation Builder for integrated data and financial management, the new website and membership portal, the upcoming new and improved outreach LPWIre newsletter (fully to debut in April), and the innovative Alliance systems fund raising partnership, we now need to do the hardest work. We need to do grass roots, dirty hands, and person-to-person recruitment, outreach, and liaison work for building membership numbers, affiliate organizations at county, region and district levels, and more fund raising outreach. We do this in order to find, staff and run more election campaigns, local- and county-level and above to state- and federal-level, for our mission to set Wisconsin free.
The new leadership team that will assume their tenure on April 27th will hopefully understand that they have all the new tools at hand for growth and success for the entire LPWI. Furthermore, the Party belongs to all of its members, who at the convention have supreme power and decision on all matters. Those who become the leaders and the worker/activist for the next two years have the sacred trust to do their best for all the members of the LPWI. It goes unmentioned in most cases, but while ambitions and interests of individuals and groups in the Party may differ, contradict or even conflict with each others, we all want the same result—a Wisconsin set free.
In anticipation of the new Excom, let us remember that we in leadership positions, past, present, and future, all serve the greater interests, the ideal, the goal, as trusted servants of liberty, and as guardians of the interest of the LPWI.
For those who want an active part n the Party, please begin considering the questions now of: What can you do? What do you want to do? How can you help? And what office or role you want? The elections happen April 26th, at convention. The process for answering these questions and finding support can begin anytime. For anyone wanting more information, or guidance, or simply to discuss more about leading the Party going forward, for any position, please feel free to contact me at [email protected]. I’ll happily engage in a conversation, for betterment of our Party and its chances of success. The more candidates, the more competition, the better the results! Begin now!
Sincerely,
Tim Krenz
Acting Chair, LPWI
