Sorry, I’ve been out to lunch since the eruption started. Priorities. Slowly returning to day to day concerns.
Yes, Reni, she did stop posting about the time the new BOD was elected. Busy I’d say, fighting the good fight in her own way, no doubt.
I cant find anything current in HPPOA’s website either,, unless your interested in 2014. I had hoped to see an improvement with the election of the new BOD, but it seems to me that they’re embroiled in the mountain of crap that’s built up over the years, and as usual, nothing meaningful (to the Membership) is getting done.
Last Meeting I was at there was much discussion about swearing in to the BOD a certain member who had been disqualified by the Nominating Committee,( which was overturned by the BOD) , and his name was left on the ballots by them. The swearing in was tabled until yet another lawyer could be consulted for an opinion, There was also discussion about the Audit the Membership unanimously voted for, and that too was tabled until the Budget is done “to see if we have enough $ to do it” was the excuse given. (Amazing to me that there is $ to pay disrespectful employees and Lawyers to justify the BOD’s bad decisions, but not enough for Road Maintenance.)
I have heard that many of our shiny new BOD Members, in whom we (no, I, stupidly) have had so much hope, have been “flipped” by “the dark side,” and now are going along with the same old, same old bs spoon fed to them by people with something to gain by remaining in power. Sadly, (from my perspective) here are only 2 BOD Members now who give a hoot about the ByLaws or the Members, and that’s not enough to effect a change for the good.
I am finally so disgusted with the whole fiasco, I’ve decided to save myself from further involvement. I have spent years trying to save my kids the expense of paying for nothing when I’m gone, but unless some lawmakers get involved, we’re screwed. (JMO). What is the point of volunteering for Committees if they’re either ignored or disbanded by the BOD? What is the point of voting if every vote is overturned or ignored?
So, I admit Katerina, it appears that you were right. Nothing’s ever going to change here. We will be paying more and more for less and less as time goes on.
I have sincerely considered selling and moving rather than getting ripped off year after year. I don’t see how 2 people will be able to change this disfunctional organization when so many BOD Members and Employees are working so hard to maintain the status quo.
I highly recommend bringing a witness or a go pro with you to the office, as it has gotten very nasty there and false accusations and threats abound.
It is not a welcoming place. If you have access to the HPP Facebook page, there are specifics of how Members are being treated in the office.
I’m not proud of my present stance, but I just don’t see a way out of the hole we’re in. I’m sincerely sorry, for all of us.
