==Decisions==  
==Decisions==  
* Most of the decisions for the LPMA are made by its legislative body, the [[LPMA State Committee]].  The State Committee most recently met in June 2006.
* Most of the decisions for the LPMA are made by its legislative body, the [[LPMA State Committee]].  The State Committee meets monthly.  


The LPMA State Convention elects the State Committee, amends the Party Bylaws and Constitution, amends or adapts a Party Platform, and appoints delegates to the National Convention. The State Convention has historically been held in late winter or early spring.  In 2006 the State Committee failed to hold a state convention in a timely way to appoint delegates, and was forced to amend the Party By-Laws retroactively to approve the delegate placeholders appointed by the State Chair.
