HPPOA Membership Meetings

All expenditures and personnel matters are determined by the board of directors per the Bylaws. They are like our state legislature or congress, representives elected by the members in each of 9 districts with powers afforded by the bylaws to make those decisions for the Association.

There is no authority under the bylaws for those decisions to be made at the Membership meetings.

Remember, the individual Board members are personally liable for actions taken in both cases.

These matters cannot legally be railroaded into decisions that may be recommended by 1% of the total membership after emotional arguments many of which were not based on fact. And, particularly for a meeting that notice of which was mailed to every member from our president with the wrong date.

Emotional decisions made at general meetings without careful research, study or preparation is not what we need to do. That could spell a lot of trouble.

Ballots to all members should be the preferred method for any decision affecting every member. Like the mailbox vote.
