So after almost 4 months of opportunity to do the right thing, after hundreds of posts, and all the personal attacks and name calling, even accusations of pet murder, the board supporters who accused reasonable people who just asked for accountability of undermining the board and supporting the fired employees, are finally now noticing that this board is running amuck! Really, what finally cued you in?
The solution is not to hire a professional board (they would still need oversight by HPPOA members), there are huge non profit organizations with volunteer boards that operate very successfully, they just follow the bylaws, set policies, and then get out of the way and let the paid employees run things. The board shouldn't be a paid management company but it does need to get its big nose out of day to day operations, hire replacements for the fired employees, and start to take care of board responsibilities like following the bylaws and state and federal law for boards and employers, which includes basic things like not revealing confidential personnel information about current or past employees in public meetings or internet forums, so the HPPOA doesn't get sued, posing accurate minutes, and filling vacant seats by following the by laws. How hard is that?
