This year, the LNC decided to hold its meeting separately, in order to be able to more fully participate, and to spend more time with the Chairs.
So, come in as early as you can on Friday, party with us for a while, learn a lot on Saturday, and play on Sunday! If you do bring family, let them go do the things you don’t want to do on Saturday, then rejoin them on Sunday for family fun.
We’ll see you there!
I think the question was the date, not the location.
Apparently there is a question of June vs. February, which would both be covered by the range of dates in the minutes (“February to July.”)
Rachel is the LSLA chair charged with running the next LSLA meeting. The LSLA has already voted to hold its next meeting in Seattle. Here are their minutes where they did so:
Minutes
LSLA Annual Meeting
March 1, 2009
Charleston, SC
Called to order by Secretary M Carling in the absence of the Chair at 08:05.
Members present: Daniel Adams, Ruth Bennett, Jeff Bowles, M Carling, Michael Carmany, Pat Dixon, Rob Hodgkison, Barbara Howe, Lou Jasikoff, Glenn Nielsen, Bob Odden, Kevin Takenaga.
Pat Dixon elected Chair pro-tem by unanimous consent.
Pat Dixon elected Chair by unanimous consent.
M Carling elected Secretary by unanimous consent.
Rob Hodgkinson elected Treasurer by unanimous consent.
Texas selected as venue for 2010 LSLA conference to be held January 30-31.
Seattle selected as venue for 2011 LSLA conference to be held February to July.
Minutes of May 2008 meeting corrected and approved.
Adjourned 08:31.
Perhaps this has been scheduled too far in advance to account for other conferences. My previous comment assumed the date was in flux as referred to in Aaron Starr’s comment above, but the state chairs conference date is already mentioned in page 9 of the 5-31-2010 LNC meeting minutes, so perhaps it has been fixed for quite a while.
The LSLA event has always been held in late winter.
Doing the state chairs conference the same weekend as the 2011 International Students for Liberty Conference but across the country will probably make it even harder to convince young people to attend.
SFL has John Stossel headlining.

I’ll be quite torn myself. All things being equal I’d go to the state chairs conference. However, with SFL a DC metro ride away and the state chairs conference requiring a plane ticket I may cheap out picking the more local event.
This seems odd.
It’s my understanding that the LSLA Chair recently called for an October 31 teleconference meeting for the state chairs to decide whether to move the previously scheduled conference from June to February.
Is she announcing the results before they vote on this?
Or am I mistaken and they already had the teleconference call?
