Expose board members that don't get the job done

Hi everybody


I refer to Mr & Mrs XYZ's mail.

Myself and a few other people I know, have this feeling that the board members seems more like one big happy family instead. I think that some of them let their feelings run the show instead of facts. The whole board when presented with the facts regarding stand 324 should have sought clarity and accountability and sorted this problem out way back last year?

Obviously there were board decisions made here by some of them without due process or in fact informing others on the board. My guess they all stick together and protect the ones who may have made a poor decision. I agree with Mr & Mrs XYZ that all home owner members should know who these board members were. The board, although not elected correctly in my opinion, for reasons best known to the chairman, have to have a more responsible approach.

I know and acknowledge that board members do this job for no re-numeration. They were elected by all of us and the least we expect is that they will leave their personal agendas in the cupboard when they go to board meetings and concentrate solely on the facts presented to them and on the prevailing problems. If there was a problem with the building committee's decision made regarding stand 324, then the remainder of the board member should have insisted that the issue be resolved once and for all and to the book without the building committee present. This is what a lot of companies do when there is an incident like this and for a good reason. I don't think this happened in this case but I may be wrong? I also don't think our board members follow the nameless "paper vote" procedure were-by all votes are anonymous.

I know 3 or 4 of our board members and I will back them as being conscientious and good people. Some of the others may be letting the whole team down. It would be unkind and incorrect to paint the entire board with the same brush. In no way do I imply that the Farrar’s have done this.

Looking at proceedings at last year AGM, I think there are a few “big dog” egos’ all wanting us believe in their bark.

Goodbye
