COMPLAINT - HCB Board Of Directors

If members do not like using a board of directors - change it!

HCB is a member controlled association. The membership can vote on any issue it wants. It can make any change it wants - as long as it does not violate the law, or violate club bylaws.

An error in the bylaws eliminated the proposed voting system (Management control system). Without a voting system included in the bylaws the old system was automatically grandfathered. The old voting system was membership controlled: members could vote on any issue, membership votes were final.

However, there was no procedure in place to make emergency decisions if necessary. Contacting all members by mail and waiting for responses then holding a membership meeting was not practical. As a private club it was not necessary. However, to maintain the legal status of a nonprofit association, and the resulting liabiltiy protection for members, procedures to make emergency decisions is required.

Grandfathering or creating a committee, board, or board of directors was the most practical solution.. The issue was presented and discussed at a membership meeting. It would not violate the management control system as the membership could at the next meeting vote to approve or reverse any board decision. The membership still has final control.

Because of the concerns posted on this forum I will address the issue at the next meeting. Use of a board can be reversed, but it must be replaced with some means of making urgent/emergency decisions that will work within the present club bylaws.

I'll let Don answer that...

I'm curious to know who changed the sites admin password, removed my name from moderator list and deleted my user name? Looks like this person may have added himself as moderator again, after he was removed. Is this the same person that tried to log in several times with the wrong password Jan. 27, before 8:45pm as well?

The same person that has been a moderator on this site for over 5 years, the same person that was never voted off the site as a moderator. When was it that you were voted in as one, that's right, you weren't.
