Resignation of the President of the Board of Managers

Shortly after the April meeting, the President of our Board of Managers resigned. This was formally announced at the May meeting.

The work load of our recent president was cited as the reason. However, I can't but wonder if the outburst orchestrated during the April meeting by our Communications Director influenced this decision. It has never been announced who on the board called the towing company to enforce the rules. One of the board members made that call. It could very well be that it was the President of the Board of Managers.

During the recent election, the president was one of three people who ran on a slate which promoted their "backgrounds in project management, conflict resolution, team building, and interpersonal communications.” Based on my observations at the board meetings, our president had some skills in that area. However, based on my observations at the board meetings, I cannot make that statement for all of the new members of the board of managers. In fact, I would state that one member has definitely shown little or no capacity for conflict resolution. Campaign materials are easy to write and to print. Walking the talk is another matter, altogether!

Our President will be missed, as a voice of moderation among the new board members. Thank you for being willing to be of service to our association.
