Future Meetings Reports & Any Needed Votes (10 min) 1) We move to award the NLGA Business Meeting in December of 2021 to the NLGA staff to plan in Northern Kentucky and/or Cincinnati, in conjunction with the NLGA Officers. It is understood that the meeting will be planned by NLGA staff, in conjunction with NLGA Officers, and NLGA will assume costs of the meeting. Background: No bidders have emerged for the meeting. With COVID-19 and with uncertainty surrounding state budgets thru 2021, the responsibility of planning a meeting will fall to NLGA staff. NLGA staff note the greatest cost-savings occur having the meeting close to the NLGA office (in NKy). Proximity also allows NLGA staff to visit places in person and garner a greater number of bids for various planning pieces, in the hope of saving money. Only NJ and VA have NLGA member elections in 2021. Motion by: Lt. Governors Nungesser (LA-R), Hall-Long (DE-D), and Foley (NE-R)
2) We move to award the NLGA Business Meeting in December of 2022 to the NLGA staff to plan in New Orleans, Louisiana. It is understood the meeting will be planned by NLGA staff, in conjunction with NLGA Officers, and NLGA will assume costs of the meeting. Background: Louisiana Lt. Governor Billy Nungesser was NLGA Chair over the year (2020) in which both major NLGA meetings were cancelled. He provided service, commitment, availability, support, and direction to NLGA and its staff during these trying times. Yet, he never had the opportunity to chair an actual DC or Annual Meeting. He did previously contribute to NLGA by hosting a NLGA Annual Meeting. In recognition of the service and commitment of Lt. Gov. Nungesser to NLGA as NLGA Chair through COVID-19 and missing his opportunities to preside over meetings as a Chair, NLGA awards the NLGA Business Meeting in December of 2022 to New Orleans, Louisiana, to be planned by NLGA staff, in conjunction with NLGA Officers. NLGA will assume costs of the meeting in appreciation of Lt. Gov. Nungesser’s unique service. This (2022) is an election year for about half the states in the nation and some states will seat new elects who would be hosted here. Motion by: Lt. Governors Hall-Long (DE-D), and Foley (NE-R)
