Steve Givot to run for LP Secretary
Libertarian National Committee At-Large member Steve Givot has announced that he is running as an "independent candidate" for the office of LP Secretary, and says he will bring to the job a "dedication to [the] task and a commitment" to responsibility.
"I have substantial experience as an LNC member as well as past experience keeping minutes for other organizations. I know that I can do this job well," said Givot. "I pledge to end the problem the LNC has had in getting draft minutes of its meetings prepared and distributed in a timely manner."
The election will be held at the LP National Convention in Washington, DC, July 2 to 5, 1998.
Givot said he is an "outspoken supporter of the current LP strategy of growing membership and the LP's contributor base. Our challenge is to guide the continuing growth of this organization with steady hands. We are on the right path. Hard work, sound management, steady leadership, faith and patience will bring us to our goal. I pledge to do my best to bring 25 years of practical business and leadership skills to the table to ensure that we stay on course."
Givot has been an active member of the LP since 1980. He has served on the LNC for most of the last 12 years; chaired the 1991 and 1993 Convention Oversight Committees; chaired the Platform Committee (twice) and the LP's first Program Committee; and worked on the 1992 Marrou/Lord campaign. He is also the Treasurer of the LP of Illinois.
