[LPL Board of Directors] Orleans Caucus Recap

[Adrien Monteleone]

The caucus was fantastic.  There were 30 members from Orleans present and 
voting, and an additional 10 or so people from other parishes as guest and 
observers.

12 excellent candidates vied for 7 spots and the strongest core was chosen.  
One of the 5 who was not chosen for the PEC was reserved by the Caucus and 
selected as Orleans Rep to the Board. He will be a very active and strong 
representative for them.

Additionally, this PEC is quite diverse as was the group in general.  Of the 
seven PEC members, one is African-American and one is Latino/Hispanic.  Their 
Parish Rep is Latino/Hispanic as well. (not sure which is the correct term as 
I'm sadly not versed in the differences, since I don't bother to even consider 
such things as important - we are Libertarians after all. But the caucus 
thought it something to celebrate) Two of their members are women.

They consist of an entrepreneur and business owner, a community organizer and 
sports coach, a graduate professor in psychology and radio personality, a 
former U.S. Navy man who was assigned to submarine duty, a NOLA city 
government employee, a law student and former congressional candidate, and our 
own Wendy Adams.

They already have plans to appoint more members and additional officers than 
the required 6, as well as plans to flesh out sub-committees for various 
duties and tasks.  They intend to take NOLA by storm and I have full 
confidence they will do so, and in short order.
