Libertarian Party Of Northampton County Executive Committee Requests LPPA Board Of Directors Recognize It As A County Committee

The Executive Committee of the Libertarian Party of Northampton County met on Wednesday, September 21, 2011 and passed the following resolution:

MOTION: Pursuant to Article III, Section 1 of the Libertarian Party of Pennsylvania Bylaws, the Executive Committee of the Libertarian Party of Northampton County (which has at least four (4) members of the LPPA in good standing residing in Northampton County; i.e.Dylan Duraes, Patrick R. Killy, Aaron Rosengarten & Shane Wolfe) hereby requests the Libertarian Party of Northampton County be recognized by the LPPA Board of Directors as a "County Committee" of the Libertarian Party of Pennsylvania.

The motion was made by Dylan Duraes and seconded by Patrick R, Killy. It passed unanimously.

Article III, Section 1 of the Libertarian Party of Pennsylvania Bylaws reads, in part, as follows:

Any group of two or more members in good standing residing in the same county, shall, upon their request to the Party to be recognized by the Board of Directors as a "County Committee"...The county or regional committee must select an executive board consisting of two or more people and they must choose as their Parliamentary Source any version of Robert's Rules.

Dr. Tom Stevens, County Chair of the Libertarian Party of Northampton County, commented on the Executive Committee's request for recognition as follows:

On or about September 13, 2011, Patrick R. Killy, Dylan Duraes & Shane Wolfe (all LPPA members in good standing residing in Northampton County) asked the Board of Directors of the Libertarian Party of Pennsylvania for recognition as a "County Committee". Although Mik Robertson made a motion to grant recognition to the Libertarian Party of Northampton County, no further action was taken.

On September 21, 2011, an Organizational Meeting was held and the Libertarian Party of Northampton County was formed. An Executive Committee "consisting of two or more people" was elected and bylaws were adopted designating Robert's Rules of Order, Newly Revised as the group's Parliamentary Authority.

As noted above, the Executive Committee of the Libertarian Party of Northampton County has now unanimously passed a resolution asking the LPPA Board of Directors to grant "County Committee" status to this newly formed organization. Four (4) members of the Libertarian Party of Northampton County (i.e. Dylan Duraes, Patrick R. Killy, Aaron Rosengarten & Shane Wolfe), all who are members in good standing of the LPPA residing in Northampton County, now seek formal recognition of this new organization.

I hope the LPPA Board of Directors acts soon with respect to this request.

The Libertarian Party of Northampton County was formally organized on September 21, 2011.
