Hi All,
I imagine you’ve all been following the chatter concerning the bylaw 46 motion, now expanded to critique of the CEO’s salary, threats and promises to withhold donations, and similar overblown rhetoric. No one has yet called for a pox on all our house or for a plague of locusts to descend on Newington, but I’m sure that’s on the way. While I definitely do NOT support the bylaw 46 motion, for reasons alluded to in the Report of the 1st VP, I’m saddened, but not surprised, by the vitriol the motion has unleashed, vitriol being directed, quite unjustly, at the entire Board. I think it’s important that the membership understand that the Board is not, and indeed should not be, monolithic. So, I’ve tentatively decided to release my “Report of the 1st VP” out into the wild. My guess is that this would have minimal impact, but I thought I should let you know ahead of time, both to solicit your comments, and should you see any chatter online.
See you all in a few weeks.
Mike
