The Libertarian National Committee (LNC) is seeking applicants to serve on the Platform Committee for the May 21-25, 2020 national convention in Austin, Texas. The LNC expects to make these appointments at its November meeting.
The LNC appoints 5 out of the 20 Platform Committee members as well as ranked alternates. The remaining fifteen seats are filled by the states with the most bylaws-sustaining national memberships (10 by raw numbers, and 5 by per capita). The committee proposes changes to the party’s platform and convention delegates vote on whether to approve those proposals.
This committee typically has in-person meetings at least once, several months in advance of the national convention, and then a final meeting on the day before the national convention begins. In the interim, there is likely to be a large volume of email discussions and several electronic meetings.
Committee members will be expected to invest an appreciable amount of their time into doing their jobs including a high tolerance for heavy email traffic . Any travel costs incurred will be at personal expense.
If you are interested in serving in one of these LNC-appointed seats, apply by completing this webform no later than October 15, 2019.
*Please note that these applications (excluding street address and phone number) will be publicly viewable. Please do not include any information that would be considered private.
If you have any questions at all, please do not hesitate to contact me at secretary@lp.org or 561.523.2250
