That is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. If they don't want to get involved, they should not be on the Board. Perhaps they will step down...then we can get people who know how to think for themselves and are not afraid of taking a stand to take their places. I have to agree with this and hope it is not true. I know these might just be rumors, but if any board members declines to serve when asked, he or she should just resign. Being elected to our board carries a heavy burden, and great responsibility to the members. Those who ran, knew this. I was told that one of those current board members who wants to keep Hunte in the club is trying to get other board members not to take part in the meeting so there can't be a quorum. If this is true, and can be proven, I will personally send in $50.00 and bring charges. No one should interfere with the club business for personal reasons. I hope it is just a rumor. Any director who is conflicted on his or her position should take part in the meeting and if uncertain how to vote, abstain. If you agree to run, you agree to serve. If this is too difficult for a director, then that person should resign and let someone serve who is willing to do the work. If the director is engaged in something they can't get out of, then it makes sense. If not, I would ask that all directors attend, and at least represent us little people who do not get to vote. We need you there, no matter what your position is. Not that there is anything wrong with that.
