[LPL Board of Directors] Performance Based Pay amendment to Executive Director contract

[elections at lplouisiana.org]

I vote aye.  Wendy does wonderful good work and very hard work.  I am sure
that she will be able to meet those goals and exceed them before the date
listed.  I wish we had 100 more of her.

> I'm proposing the following amendment to add a section to Wendy's
contract as follows:
>
> Performance based pay
>
> $1 (one dollar)per registered voter in excess of 8,000 before 1/1/14.
> Payment
> to be made quarterly after the initial threshold has been surpassed, and
> upon
> calculation of the number of net new voters per the official list
> purchased
> from the Secretary of State's office.
>
> $5 (five dollars) per new annual dues paying member who attended a
> successful
> parish organizing caucus.  Payment to be made quarterly after accurate
> filing
> of all required paperwork evidencing the caucus, as members sign up and
> payment is received from Piryx, that match the attendance roster.
>
>
> This will work to provide incentive towards three goals, increased voter
> registration, increase in organized parishes, and increased funding.
>
> The voter registration funding would require only a small percentage of
> those
> new voters to sign up as dues paying members to break even. (about 2-5%)
>
> The second incentive is really geared towards both organizing new
> parishes,
> and bringing in new members as a result of that effort. It would pay for
> itself, since she only gets a bonus if she gets new members.
>
> Thus each quarter, on or about the second pay check (to allow for
> calculations) we would issue her a bonus payment for the amount earned
> according to these two criteria.
>
> These criteria I think are fair for the effort required, and provide her
> the
> means to earn more if she works harder with no upper limit. (and it would
> all
> be "paid for" since it is tied to new memberships)
>
> In other states where petition drives are held to secure signatures for
> ballot
> access, $1-$2 is the typical incentive pay for valid signatures.  However,
> petition signatures generally do not rely on people changing party
> affiliation.  Since this is a much harder goal, but we do not yet know how
> much work is involved, I think $1 per new LP voter is a reasonable start.
>
> The above proposal would offer no upper limit, but as an example, she
> would
> qualify for $6,000 for reaching our registration goal of 14,000. This
> would
> require in a worst case scenario, 300 new members, or 5% of those 6000
> voters
> to sign up.  Considering we are now contacting new voters within a short
> time
> span of their registration to get them active, this should be achievable.
>
> Also, the proposal above would allow her to qualify for significantly more
> also with no upper limit and do so only by bringing new money into the
> treasury to pay for it.  If she were to form 25 PECs with only the minimum
> number of members/officers and got each to sign up as an LPL member, she
> would
> qualify for an additional $750.  Of course, that would be a minimum, she
> could
> earn much more if she brings in more.
>
> While I think 10,000 voters is a more likely result, 25 parishes is not
> out of
> reach.  She's already a few months away from 10 and is almost ready to
> begin
> the next batch.
>
> I think giving her the room to effectively decide how much she wants to
> earn
> this year and tying that extra amount to her bringing it in to pay for it,
> will achieve the results we are looking for.
>
>
> Thus I am asking for your votes, and/or amendments/discussion/questions on
> the
> above Motion to Amend.
