get informed then make a judgement.....

Most critical point I've been informed on: some of the board members made the decision to terminate employees without calling a public noticed meeting.

Like I stated before,you need to read your bylaws.They can call a board meeting without public notice if they deem it necessary.Also,personnel matters are to be handled in executive sessions and are private.You may never know why they were fired.
If these private matters were made public then the board would have a legal problem.

From Section 9 © 2

...when action is urgently required to serve the community interest. In such case however, no such meeting shall be held until every reasonable effort has been made to inform and secure the participation of every board member


I doubt terminating good employees because of a regime change is considered a urgent matter. Urgent enough to bypass all the by-law requirements for special meetings.

It is doubtful that the State of Hawaii Department of Labor will consider it a good enough reason to deny benefits to those employees.

I called office to get information and was told that Susan Escobar who is answering questions was not in the office. I was told she was expected back sometime during the day but did not receive a return call.
