I was privileged to be a member of the CCHOA Ad Hoc Bylaws Committee which was formed in the Spring, 2003 and disbanded by the Steering Committee and Board in the Summer, 2003. It was my pleasure to have served on this Committee with three other excellent, professional, and knowledgeable people: Cynthia Harris, Chris Bourgeacq, and Royal Masset.
After submitting a preliminary draft Bylaws document to the Steering Committee and Board of CCHOA, the Bylaws Committee received the following e-mail message from Ken Rigsbee, CCHOA Board of Director.
E-mail dated: Saturday, August 30,2003, 6:22 p.m. It was sent to Steering Committee leadership, the other two Board Members, Susan Hoover, and forwarded to the Bylaws Committee Chairperson, Royal Masset. The following is the entirety of the e-mail.
''Subject: RE: FW: Committee report
Well -Here's how I see this. The committee is a creature of the Board of the CCHoA. They are NOT in a position to call for a public hearing. I want to see the report and answer some of the questions BEFORE anything is brought to the public. This is NOT the PTA. The Board makes the decisions. The Board can solicit input, but we will not have a 'democratic vote' on how we will modify the bylaws.
Regards,
Ken Rigsbee''
After the above statement and several other extremely derogatory, unprofessional comments by Ken Rigsbee regarding the Bylaws Committee report, draft, and activities, I became quite vocal about the leadership of the CCHOA, questionable activities, and statements from them.
I have to this day remained vocal about inappropriate leadership and actions the CCHOA Board takes. Many of their actions are simply inappropriate.
I encourage you, as a member of the CCHOA, to stand up for what is right. Help point the CCHOA in the right direction - moving forward.
1. Vote for 9 Board members. You need a strong voice in the CCHOA to counteract statements and actions as cited above in Rigsbee's e-mail.
2. Write-in vote for Quentin Fennessy.
3. Vote for a code of ethics.
4. Be at the Tuesday meeting or give your proxy to someone you trust to do the right thing for you.
5. Tell your friends and neighbors to vote to move CCHOA forward.
Sincerely,
Pam Voss
