The Board of Directors is limited to 6 members. The amendment, which passed unanimously, lists the Vice Chair, Recording Secretary, Corresponding Secretary, Treasurer, Male YRNF Committeeman, and Female YRNF Committeewoman as the official Board of Directors.
For those of you keeping score that means that the NYSYRs have a Board of Directors, a Governing Board, and an Executive Board!
The interesting thing is that if you look at the NYSYR official website you will find that the NYSYR Chairman in 1934 was George H. Sibley (1932-1935).
He was also the first person listed on the incorporation document and presumably the first member of the so-called Board of Directors of the NYSYR.
So why was the Chair removed from the Board of Directors in 2013? Was it for a legitimate reason? Something personal? Something sinister? Something sexist? Something racist? Revenge?
Clearly the precedent was to have the chair on the board.
Things that make you go hmm...
Sepulveda is a figurehead. She couldn't or wouldn't get a single person to even debate the amendment that dethroned her. She should resign immediately.
ReplyDeleteShe should have resigned months ago. It is too late now. If she were to resign today it wouldn't change anything and wouldn't send any message of any kind to any one.
ReplyDeleteI agree. She has shown herself to be weak and ineffective to the entire NYSYR organization and I can tell you that her own county club now distrusts her after her performance at the meeting in Newburgh. With that said her resignation would not help anyone at this point.
DeleteRumor has it that her next big fight will be to raise the price of the meetings back to where they used to be. This one was only $15 and others (like the convention where the SIYRs made serious $) are usually around $75 to $100.
Jason Weingartner repeatedly asked for clarification on exactly how much "profit" was lost at the meeting in OC during the Treasurer's Report.
FYI- not much was revealed about the illegal contribution Weingartner made to the YRNF by masking it through the NYSYR but there will be more to come on that soon enough.
Hahaha,
ReplyDeleteI know Diana. She is a sweet girl but a useful idiot. She has no real friends on her own board and they are all just biding their time till the next election cycle to give her the boot.
If she was smart she would have seen this coming. I think her own "friends" from her home clubs are in on it both in Brooklyn and Richmond.
Special thanks to the Watcher that hooked up all the new bells and whistles for us. Twitter feed and comments now linked. Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteNicely done. I wonder who the other "Watcher" is....
ReplyDeleteThis is pretty stunning. I don't think it was intentionally done to hurt Diana but I am curious as to when and if anyone will try to correct this obvious error in judgement. As I understand it the constitution can only be changed at the next convention.
ReplyDeleteIncorrect. Please refer to the amended NYSYR Constitution and Bylaws linked at the top of this page. They can both be changed at regular meetings now with a few technical differences.
ReplyDeleteSo, let me understand this... if Weingartner and Scaringi and Lewis and Gilbert from Revenge of the Nerds, wouldn't that make the RG a lame version of Ted McGinley? Or maybe that Ogre character? LOL.
ReplyDeleteWrong. RG had absolutely nothing to do with this amendment that stripped the first Hispanic/female NYSYR Chair from the Board of Directors. If I recall correctly that ogre was on a military drill the weekend of the convention. Must have been the first few nerds you mentioned.
