Eroneous information was given to members and to your executive board. It came in the update on the contract negotiations, the welcome to Barbara Gorgaty as treasurer and the announcement that a complaint had been filed against the entire executive board.
The part that is not true is that a complaint has not been filed against the entire executive board but there has been one filed with Vermont-NEA against the current president. Your executive board members have all of the information. An attorney has been retained to help the president with this matter. It is unclear as to whether SWVEA members dues money is being used to pay the attorney. The approval was made when the executive board believed the complaint was against all of them.
According to the guidelines for the Vermont-NEA Review Board, the hearing is an informal gathering of information and having a conversation about key components of the complaint. It is not a trial.
It is important to follow the rules and bylaws of our association. Bylaws are not 'suggestions'. Bylaws can be changed through a thoughtful process.
