Friends, The Libertarian Party of Virginia needs you!
We have several volunteer positions open for motivated individuals who would like to help improve the Party's operations and make us more effective during elections. If you are interested in any of these opportunities, you might enjoy attending our state committee meeting in Charlottesville this Saturday. See the Calendar for full details: http://lpva.com/Calendar/default.php Otherwise, please call or write the LPVA Secretary (full contact information below). Here are a few positions that are needed as soon as possible: **************************** Audit Committee **************************** Does the LPVA spend your money carefully? One way to find out, and let your fellow members know also, is to volunteer for the LPVA Audit Committee. Examine our books and check our cash controls to assure yourself and your colleagues that your state committee behaves ethically and treats our members' hard-earned money with all due respect. Check after us to help us all be sure that our money is used in ways that will promote the Party and Libertarianism -- rather than detract from both. It is not required to be an accountant to be on the Audit Committee -- just be organized and able to see patterns when necessary. <mailto:[email protected]?Subject=Volunteer_For_Audit Committee> **************************** Interim National Platform Committee Representative **************************** Every two years, the LP adjusts its national platform to remove references to obsolete issues, and add new ones -- or just to improve the style/readability of our primary guiding document. Would you like to be part of the team studying suggested changes to that platform? Some travel may be required (for instance the Platform Committee typically meets for a couple of days before the National Convention opens, so it can finalize any proposals to present to the delegates); but mostly the job revolves around a commitment to detail and paying attention to and participating in the online discussion. This position is a *representative* position -- the appointee will represent the LPVA, so the applicant will need to consider what a majority of his colleagues in the LPVA would think about the issues raised. In debate and voting on the Platform Committee in support of that position without too much bias from his own opinions. <mailto:[email protected]?Subject=Volunteer_For_PlatComm> **************************** Newsletter Editor **************************** The LPVA would like to re-establish its mailed newsletter. We are currently seeking one or more volunteers, including an editor. Please send us your letter/email of interest and include a basic publishing resume and a sample or two of your desktop-publishing work. For now, all we want is a two to four page letter-folded type of very simple newsletter, poreferably to be mailed at monthly intervals. The newsletter editor would only need to come up with the content in camera-ready form; others handle the database it is mailed to, paying the printer and postage, etc. <mailto:[email protected]?Subject=Volunteer_For_Newsletter> **************************** Membership Committee **************************** When elections roll around, if we have few members, we can't adequately support our candidates. Also, from the ranks of our membership come most of our candidates -- so no members, no Libertarians competing at the ballot box to let voters know there is an alterative to fat-government advocates. Membership Committee volunteers initiate personal contact with our national and state members, and encourage them to renew early. They accept new inquiries, contact them vie phone, email, or in-person, and encourage them to join. <mailto:[email protected]?Subject=Volunteer_For_Membership_Committtee> -------------------------------------------------------------------- To speak to me about any of the above opportunities, you may also leave a message on the LPVA voicemail line at 703-715-6230; or write: Volunteer Opportunities c/o Marc Montoni, Secretary PO Box 864 Dayton VA 22821-0864 -- end -- ############################################################# Have an announcement you'd like to post?
