[LPL Board of Directors] Resignation

[Adrien Monteleone]

To all Board members,

After much reflection and personal assessment, I feel I would be doing the LPL 
a great disservice in continuing to serve as Chairman.

I have over the past several months, devoted full time or more to the party, 
at the expense of personal duties, and work. I am fortunate to have a flexible 
work schedule, but that is alsomy undoing as it allows me to devote more time 
than I can afford to the Party. This is my own fault and doing, but it must be 
remedied.  I am in great financial straits at this time, and must take a break 
to recover.

I am still the membership officer of Lafayette, and though I will take a break 
there as well, I will hopefully be able to work on the local level to build 
the LPdown the road.

I have consulted with Mr. Lewis, the Vice-Chairman on this, tendering my 
resignation directly to him by phone, along with Mr. Lee Horne. We spoke at 
great length about a good number of issues facing the party at the present, as 
well as the direction of the party in the future.

Because this was so sudden for him, and because he has other commitments with 
the state Legislature, and because of our recent turnover at Treasurer, 
Secretary, and Finance Officer, hehas asked me for a longer transition period 
than I was originally comfortable with.

I consider myself effectively resigned immediately, but have agreed to a 
"leave of absence" to be officially ended on or before Sunday May 12th.

Mr. Lewis will in the interim assume full duties as chairman in this absence 
to give him time to work out his legislative schedule, and to give the party 
time to find a suitable Secretary and now a suitable Vice-Chairman to replace him.

I remain available for support and consultation for Mr. Lewis as he moves into 
his new role as Chairmanand to allow for an orderly transition.

Despite this odd statusfor both of us, please do not contact me unless it is 
an absolute emergency. As it isright now, I must work about 60 hours next week 
(for pay) in order to meet deadlines for personal bills and debts that cannot 
be put off.  It is not that I do not want to help or engage in discussion, but 
that I really cannot devote any time at all to the LPL for the near future.

I will be working with Mr. Trotter and Mr. Ebarb to effectuate an orderly 
transition of the Treasurer duties and with Mr. Thompson to work out an 
orderly transition of website duties to his committee.

I will do whatever minimum is necessary to assist Mr. Lewis, but I will defer 
all decisions to him, and for all intents and purposes - he is now the Chairman.

Considering recent developments, this would be a good opportunity for all 
involved to take a break for a while, re-assess and regroup to begin working 
to take the party to the next level.

In Liberty,

Adrien Monteleone - Chairman
Libertarian Party of Louisiana
