The former President (Mullenix) and Vice-President (Maynard) have not been removed. If Ms. Mizuba presided over tonight's meeting it was an invalid meeting.
It has been ten months and none of the Directors - original lineup and new appointees - have yet mastered using the Bylaws. It seems that most of the members are in the same boat. One does not have to memorize the Bylaws. Call them up on a laptop, tablet device or smart phone and bring it to the meetings. A quick search will point out the relevant Bylaw(s) for immediate use.
What members should be doing is calling a point of order at every meeting, every time the Board's actions do not fit the Bylaws. If the Board attempts to conduct unauthorized business in executive sessions, those actions must be called to account at the next open meeting. [While the debates in executive sessions are confidential, the actions (motions, resolutions, decisions) are public.]
At tonight's meeting, as soon as Ms. Mizuba attempted to open the meeting, with a point of order she should have been informed that she was not President and could not preside.
This is not a social gathering or "club". It is a $2.25 million/year corporation. And that is the members' money that could be being mismanaged or misused. Until such time as there is a Board of Directors that can be trusted to follow the Bylaws and conduct all relevant business in the open, it is incumbent on every member to get on and stay on the Directors' backs.
Where's Bill Newman, Leilani, Ken, Skip, Sandra Collins RN, Dave, Mayline, Bruce and the rest of the gang that took out a very well run office and field staff. You guys caused this I hope you're happy with your results.
