Board supporters were hoping this time, this board, would be bylaw abiding individuals. After the terminations I was hoping they would learn our bylaws and get on track from that point on. The opposing faction was so disrespectful, volatile and aggressive and that was unacceptable to me. I continued to support the board during those days because I admired their resilience despite the hammering they were receiving. No volunteer deserves that kind of treatment. The opposition also made mistakes and pitted neighbor against neighbor..a horrible time for all of us.
As mentioned in a previous post, several of us tried to tactfully assist in guiding the new board and as time went on a couple of the exec members began to consider us a nuisance. It seemed that a couple of the exec members of this board, like previous boards, became arrogant, thinking they were entitled as exec members to exclude and disregard the voices of other board members and lot owners in their decisions.
My position of expecting that our bylaws should be followed resulted in my having to resign from the HRC. Add to it a conflict of interest. The other members on the HRC seemed to be unconcerned as nothing changed-a red flag for me. 3 of us were appointed, refer to July 2014 Minutes and only 1 of the 3 appointed are left. The appointed board member was excluded for the 1st 3 meetings, by another board member who remains on the HRC. I asked for an explanation and have received none. The appointed board member resigned after me. None of it was personal, I just wanted them to follow our bylaws.
After the final act of decommissioning the RTSC and the manner and reasons it was done has put me where I am today. In realization that we need to be proactive in solving this vicious cycle of board members habitually breaking our bylaws w/no accountability. Otherwise, what good are our bylaws?
I am a supporter of law abiding board members and want to make sure to recognize that on every board of directors, there are those that try their best to follow our bylaws. It's frustrating for them to fight the treacherous current of those that arrogantly break them. I admire their resilience and tenacity, such as our steadfast treasurer, and wish them all the best of luck, including our newest board members.
I believe you can ask someone in the office to provide a copy of the Conduct Policy.
