I believe that the number of positions on the Executive Committee is too large.  We have trouble getting a quorum, I believe because we have so many people, 15? members.

There are so many EC members because of a tradition which rewards a functional job performer by making them "Directors" of a department, with EC membership.  We have only 4 at large members.

Recently I've had an opportunity to compare notes with other state chairs.  I hadn't been doing that, most of the time I'd been LPNC State Chair.  One benefit of this increased interaction is a better awareness of how other state LPs are organized.  One thing I have learned is that LPNC has a relatively large number of members in its state Executive Committee.

In LPGeorgia, for instance only "officers" on the EC are the Chair, Vice-Chair, Secretary, and Treasurer.  The others are at-large or regional representatives.--- http://www.ga.lp.org/excomm.html

This is exactly the way the LP is organized at the national level, except the national executive committee is called the Libertarian National Committee.

The same is true of LPAlabama--- http://www.al.lp.org/officers.htm

and Florida--- http://www.lpf.org/committees/index.php?committee=EC

A similar but not quite identical system seems to be used in LPMississippi---http://www.lp.org/organization/mississippi.shtml

South Carolina is more like us, with all the EC members being officers, with special jobs and titles, though there are far fewer of them.--- http://www.sclibertarians.org/SCLP_About2.html

LPTennessee is like us, but instead of having any at-large members, they have three regional representatives.--- http://www.lptn.net/officers/
