Fellow Toastmasters,
It is my personal policy to only send out group emails when I feel there is
something very important that must be communicated. This is one of those
times.
Today you all received an email from former member, Bev Wheeler. In it she
disparages three members of our leadership team. The tone of her email
today is indicative of the many emails a few board members have
consistently been receiving since she joined our club. We addressed this
issue with her privately and were assured these type of emails would end.
Instead they increased.
Your leadership team strives to work quietly, behind the scenes, to keep
the club running smoothly and drama free. To this end, I will share with
you the following:
1. The Leadership Team currently in place, (Lori, Dirk, Feliks, Beth &
Brittany) have, in my opinion, behaved in an ethical, thoughtful and
professional manner at all times.
2. There were no secret board meetings, never have been nor will be.
3. Bev resigned from the club verbally, to two board members, weeks ago.
Her resignation as a board member was accepted (you must be a member of
FRTM in order to serve on it's board).
4. Bev changed her mind about resigning, however the leadership team
decided unanimously not to reverse her vacated seat on the board.
5. The Leadership Team followed protocol and procedural standards as set
forth by Toastmasters International.
I'm sorry you were all snared in this tide of negativity. It's over now,
lets move forward and continue our quest for personal growth and positive
reinforcement.
Lastly, I am proud of our current Leadership Team for their integrity,
support and promotion of club goals. If you agree, please feel free let
them know.
Amelia Autrey, CC CL ACB
President, FRTM
