Marcy,
I don't believe there's anything in the LPCA bylaws requiring them to make minimizing financial risk the guiding consideration in providing a convention. Obviously it's better if risk is low, all else being equal. But it's also better, all else being equal, if cost is low, the location is aesthetically pleasant, speakers and events are informative and fun, we are easily visible to the public, etc.
Yours in liberty,

Apparently, not. The LPCA is responsible for providing a convention,
at the least financial risk to them (and us the members), and the
only way I can see to do this is through the bid process, where the
bidder takes the risk.Marcy
