1. Hector LaSalle nomination and Remove Jay Jacobs Movement

• Should the club take a public position on these two issues
  • Board agrees the club should take a position
  • The Board will release a statement on LaSalle since it is time sensitive, but will wait for membership at a meeting to vote on a statement on Jay Jacobs and reforming the State Democratic Party
