To the Members of the SW Zone


It is important that I respond to you concerning the e-mail attached. It has been stated that my direction and policies are not supportable by Dennis Pratt. It would and could be said that Dennis then does not support the Direction and Policies of MAAC which is my direction and policy



The function of the zone director is to represent the membership of the zone and present their policies and direction to the board as a whole, through the zone meeting, and on to the AGM. This has been done completely. You only need to read the last magazine to see all of our motions, direction, events and observations have been accounted for.



I have supported your club through the years and have never expected anything in return. I respected your support for a person from your club in the last election and have no ill feelings toward the Windsor club for doing so. Peter Doupnik asked for and got support for his jet rally for the first time. This was not the only time Peter has attempted to do so. This is my duty as your director, to support you. It has however, been more than just duty, when it came to the Windsor club.



I have been the recipient of accusations from several of your fellow club members, Dennis, John and Chris. These accusations are based on the fact that I have supported other members of our zone in the same manner I have supported Windsor.

My direction is, the SW Zone members, my agenda is, the SW Zone members and my policies can be found on the MAAC web site titled MAAC Constitution and MAAC by-laws.

It has never been in my nature to take false accusations lightly. I have and will continue to do my job as director as prescribed by law,( Corporation Canada's Not-For-Profit ) not Dennis Pratt and or his friends.



The attempt of Dennis to upset my voting power at the AGM is a prime example of what is wrong with MAAC at the present time. The ZED Automatically carries all voting rights of the members minus any proxies. Dennis voting with the other directors does not mean anything. The Board can out vote the entire SW zone by ganging up, as they have done in the past. You do not have a true voice at the AGM. It should be one member one vote at the meeting plus obtained proxies.

(c) The Present system, which operates smoothly, but which denies any
meaningful input to the rank and file member. Under the current system, six
thousand members showing up at an AGM could not outvote the combined
Directors. That appears to be a real inequity.





This is one of my directions, giving you an actual stake in the future of MAAC by allowing your single vote to actually count. This seems to be what Dennis and his buddies are fighting to stop. He stated he does not support my direction



Information:

The director must support the Corporation at its core. ( as per corp Can ) That means you the member. This I have done in spite of Dennis Pratt and his friends. I will also continue to do so.

It is up to you, as it has always been
