Boycott the upcoming members’ meeting

A call to boycott the upcoming members’ meeting

At the January 2025 members’ meeting, the 2024 Board of Directors made a motion to add Online Voting.
We were led to believe that this requires 200 YES votes from members.
It was a mistake of the 2024 Board of Directors.

Adding Online Voting could have been done by the Board of Directors; it did not require members to vote at all, for sure, nor to obtain support of 200 votes or more.

All this is water under the bridge, but what is extremely important is the results of the members’ voting and the 2025 Board of Directors’ resistance to adding the Online Voting option.

The established quorum at the beginning of the January 2025 members meeting was 247 votes.
104 came from members present on the floor.
143 by proxies.

The results were
150 voted YES for adding Online Voting.
97 voted NO.

Simply put.
61% voted to add the Online Voting.
39% voted against adding it.

During 2025, Barbara, the 2025 Board of Directors’ president, and other board members were advised about their legal authority to add Online Voting without members voting.

I communicated it and added that it is their duty to acknowledge that the majority of the members (61%) voted for Online Voting.

Unfortunately, for reasons which I am not going to argue now, the 2025 Board of Directors chose not to do it.

Further, this board of directors and others in their “camp” are still spreading misinformation, trying to delay the inevitable addition of Online Voting.

I believe that the way to get the Board of Directors to add Online Voting is to boycott the upcoming members meeting and any future ones until the Board of Directors fulfills its fiduciary duty and adds Online Voting.
