RE: New MAAC Executive
How exactly and for what reason did Chuck have his membership revoked?
Chuck Smith repeatedly refuses to be a director and fullfill his obligations as a member of MAAC's board. Not only that, far too much of the board's time this past year has been spent Carl read a LONG list of issues during his President's Report dealt with this year due to Smith's actions.
eg
- not filing proxies and attendance lists with MAAC headquarters after the AZM (try that when you run a polling station for Elections Canada and see how serious prevention of the accountability is!!!)
- interference with the work of the board (by not maintaining confidentiality, interference with board business such as insurance, sometimes by less than the most truthful means)
- refusing to be accountable for his actions while demanding superhuman accountability of others
According to the new Bylaws revokation is by special resolution of the Board. Is that what happened? Have they indicated that Chuck will have an opportunity to "show cause" as to why this should not happen?
He is to be officially contacted, informing him of the termination. He then has 30 days to contact the president, indicating that he wishes to show cause why his membership should not be revoked (essentially an appeal). Whatever he presents to show cause will be investigated and discussed by the entire board. The board will then vote to uphold or quash the termination of membership.
Overall pretty sad that it came to this.
Yes...... rest assured the motion was not made lightly..... nor dealt with in a light fashion. It has been a long time in coming to this juncture. Unfortunately, after numerous chances to deal with these issues, he resigned at the last moment - thus robbing his zone of any representation in the board meetings and precious little at the AGM itself (only 2 votes from SW) .... all so he didn't have to account for his own actions. There has been far too much time dealing with a very select group of a few egos in the SW that has robbed MAAC time and energy to move forward. However, this actionwas needed so we, as an organization, can move on.
