As I recall last year in Tennessee you were sitting in the breakfast area claiming that when you were on the Board everyone voted and what ever the outcome no one complained- What has changed- do you think any Board has followed the P&P WITHOUT EXCEPTION-NOT-hiring / firing is under closed session- times be a changing from the standpoint of lawsuits-look at sexual harassment - unheard of 30 years ago-I hope but doubt you listened to Carmen about not discussing the closed session with anyone - this is not to keep anything from the club members-just trying to keep the club from getting sued-Kris ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rita Sandell" <magic4sure@xxxxxxxxx> To: <showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, August 17, 2006 6:26 PM Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] RE; FACTS > As most of you know I do not post to this list very often, but I feel compelled to express the FACTS! > > FACT 1: Gail is doing really well. If you have doubts about it, give her a call and hear for yourself. Gail was not given an opportunity to voice her opinion to the Board. SHAME ON US!!! > > FACT 2: I presently serve on the Board and have the fiduciary obligation to the membership who elected me. I expect the By-Laws and the Policies and Procedures, to be followed. In many cases this has not occurred. > > FACT 3: According to our P & P all Board members are supposed to receive written reports 2 weeks prior to the Board meeting. It is important that we have all of the facts before us so that we can make intelligent well-informed decisions. I wrote an e-mail prior to the meeting to the President, Mr. Lew Bunch, who then referred me to Bill Pfeiffer. Bill assured me that we would get a report from the committee. We did not. This is a violation of our P & P. How can I, as your representative, serve you when I don't have the information needed to make an informed decision? > > FACT 4: The Review editor is a very important position. Your membership money helps pay for the Review. All information pertaining to the hiring of the Review editor (an independent contractor) should be openly provided to both the Board and the membership. This hiring does not fall under the criteria for a "CLOSED SESSION". In the history of the Club it has never been in closed session. > > These are the facts. I was elected to serve the membership and that is what I am trying so hard to do. > > Respectfully Submitted, > > Rita Sandell > > > > --------------------------------- > Do you Yahoo!? > Next-gen email?
