Help With Numbers...John/Dave/Others?

I will not go off the deep end again today. All I ask is that the board stop promoting pet projects. This goes against their sworn oath to uphold the fiduciary duty of being a director of the RCSC board. Their duty is to do what is in the best interest of all of the members, not just a select few. To hear that the group was campaigned by a sitting board member for the specific purpose of promoting a pet project is deplorable. It’s even more agonizing and absurd that other members of the board are allowing this action to continue.
This is a demonstration of self governance gone awry and not single person of integrity will stand up to say “No”. This brings actual tears to my eyes and breaks my heart. I had such high expectations and hope for our board. Nope, just another lockstep back room good old boys rigged card game. Who’s turn is to deal the next hand?

 

Carole, I agree with you. It is simply not believable that all of the board members did not participate in this. I was told that five of the nine directors were present at the LRP meeting, and they interrupted the discussion at will. And the chair and co-chair somehow convinced a non-golfer on the committee to make a golf motion by having a secret discussion with him before the meeting. Hmm? Two great members of the committee quit. This stinks to high heaven. John

 

Three GREAT, GREAT members quite!

Cheri Marchio, who saw the light much earlier than Steve Oaks and Gary Osier. All fantastic Members with great insight and dedication to the cause.

I don't think the resignations are over!

 

Sadly, I agree with you and the trustworthy folks are the one's heading for the door... I do not blame them.

 

Sadly, this isn't a new phenomena that's just now taking place. Committee members have been leaving in frustration for years as their ideas and opinions were meaningless if they didn't conform to what the general manager or the board wanted. I lasted all of 8 months in 2018 on the Long Range Planning Committee (including 2 months on hiatus). Ben Roloff, the most normal, best human being on the planet walked away a few months later.

There is little value to a butt in a chair if all you are expected to do is rubber stamp their agenda.

Same old song, different day.
