Give me a break !!! Since I KNOW that Kris knows how to read, I cannot believe that she failed to read the OTHER section of New York Statutes, entitled "REMOVAL OF OFFICERS" - which says: S 714. Removal of officers. (a) Any officer elected or appointed BY THE BOARD may be removed by the board with or without cause. An officer elected BY THE MEMBERS or a class of members may be removed, with or without cause, ONLY BY THE VOTE OF THE MEMBERS or such class of members, but his authority to act as an officer may be suspended by the board for cause. (b) The removal of an officer without cause shall be without prejudice to his contract rights, if any. The election or appointment of an officer shall not of itself create contract rights. (c) An action to procure a judgment removing an officer for cause may be brought by the attorney-general, by any director, by ten percent of the members, whether or not entitled to vote, or by the holders of ten percent of the face value of the outstanding capital certificates, subvention certificates or bonds having voting rights. The court may bar from re-election or reappointment any officer so removed for a period fixed by the court. As Ginny has explained, "for cause" entails very serious wrongdoing, of which there was none. The letter which was sent to me after the "hearing" says that I was found "guilty" of "violations" [violations of what ???] and that as a result, the Board has voted to "REMOVE" me, which is an express violation of the above-cited statute. There was no action taken "against [my] authority to act" - nor could there be, since there was no CAUSE. -----Original Message----- From: showgsd-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:showgsd-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Terry Cochran Sent: Monday, September 17, 2007 10:57 AM To: shadowland22000@xxxxxxxxx; f.fasano@xxxxxxx; gsd showlist Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: MY PERCEPTION/Long Kris please send me a copy of the statute via email.
