Neale is the former chair of the Libertarian National Committee (LNC), the executive body of the Libertarian Party of the United States. He served two non-consecutive terms in that position. Neale's first term as LNC chair extended from 2002[1] to 2004. During the beginning of that first term he served for nine months unpaid in order to help the party financially.[2] He served his second term from 2012 to 2014. In 2006 Neale was elected Treasurer of the Libertarian National Committee.[3] In January 2007 he resigned that position and was replaced by Aaron Starr.[4] Neale later stated that he had resigned as Treasurer because the committee had passed, over his objections, a budget that was unbalanced by $500,000.[5] The 2012 Libertarian National Convention, held May 2–6, 2012 in Las Vegas, Nevada, saw a two-day election of officers and members-at-large of the Libertarian National Committee officers leading to the defeat of most of the incumbents who were seen as being part of a "top-down faction".[6][7] The voting for chair saw the first instance where "None of the Above", which was listed as a choice on the party ballot, received more votes than any of the candidates for chair. After a new list of individuals was nominated, Neale was elected chair.[8][9] At the 2014 Libertarian National Convention in Columbus, Ohio, Neale was defeated by Nicholas Sarwark in his bid for re-election as LNC chair.[10] However, Neale was appointed to help with the creation of the International Alliance of Libertarian Parties. The alliance officially formed on March 6, 2016.[11] References1. ^[https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=JrUaAAAAIBAJ&sjid=mT8EAAAAIBAJ&pg=6723,5207890&dq=geoff-neale+liberatarian&hl=en Libertarian Party Still Small, Consistent], Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, July 8, 2002. 2. ^[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0E-aOGfszk Geoff Neale's nomination speech for LNC chair] at Reason magazine writer Garrett Quinn's YouTube page at 1 minute. 3. ^Minutes from the 2006 Libertarian National Convention {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120511111828/http://www.lp.org/archives/lpnatconv2006.pdf |date=2012-05-11 }}, held July 1–2 in Portland, Oregon, from Libertarian National Committee meeting archives web page. 4. ^Libertarian National Committee then-Vice Chair Chuck Moulton's attendance notes, no minutes of that meeting being available at the Libertarian National Committee meeting archives web page. 5. ^[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0E-aOGfszk Geoff Neale's nomination speech for LNC chair] at Garrett Quinn's YouTube page at 1 minute and 40 seconds. 6. ^Garrett Quinn,Gary Johnson: The LNC Chair Race is Exciting!
