Vice President, Deborah Young<\/p>\n
Treasurer, Sheila Bills<\/p>\n
Secretary, Greg Dodson<\/p>\n
To Members of the Texoma Council for the Deaf and Friends:<\/p>\n
It is with regret that I must inform you that I am resigning as
\nPresident of Texoma Council for the Deaf in protest to be effective
\nimmediately. I feel I cannot continue to give so much of my time and
\nefforts when I am doing what is right and my actions are not supported
\nnor my efforts appreciated.<\/p>\n
I have tried very hard to uphold the Bylaws of this organization and
\nhave expected the board members to do the same. Yet somehow, I feel
\nthe Bylaws have been violated countless times such as protecting
\ninclude TCD\u2019s funds and preserving membership\u2019s identities as well
\nas property of TCD.<\/p>\n
I have been consultant and advice with National Level Parliamentarian
\nLibby Pollard of all the inappropriate actions have been happening
\nwith the Officers. So that it already been discussed with her and it
\nis not done by my own imagination as they call me.<\/p>\n
The reasons for the protest are as follows:<\/p>\n
A.) The reasons I suspended the club on November 14 of this year are
\nbecause the board did not help me as teamwork with following: Deaf
\nCelebration event, conflict with the Internet provider called \u201cGisol
\nCompany\u201d, and even assist me in obtaining a lawyer to sue the Gisol
\nCompany on November 6. I managed to do all the work myself to protect
\nTCD.<\/p>\n
B.) On October 15, we had board meeting to discuss serious
\ninfractions by the secretary and proposed that Greg Dodson resign his
\npost because he did not perform his duties for TCD. I kept telling him
\nwhat to do for TCD since one year. I suggested him to resign.<\/p>\n
C.) I was going to have general meeting to resolve the problem with
\nthe board but they told members and non-members to cancel it without
\nmy approval as president. According to the Bylaws, the board can not
\nhave the meeting without president\u2019s approval as well as running the
\nclub without the suspension being lifted. These situations need to be
\nresolved before the club can resume to normal operation.<\/p>\n
D.) Remaining Executive Board is not making an attempt to work with
\nme and follow the Bylaws. Already a few of the Bylaws have been
\nviolated. The remaining officers have not been doing their duties as
\nstated in the bylaws such as the timely submission of minutes and
\nfinancial reports required to submit to the President. We also lost
\nour valuable website due to failure to make payments to the domain
\ncompany by the secretary, Greg Dodson.<\/p>\n
E.) The TCD Bylaws states that no actions should harm TCD’s
\nreputation. That has already occurred when someone sent a message
\nthrough the Deaf Network saying that I was no longer the President,
\nwhen in fact, I was. The comments made on Deaf Network hurts the
\nreputation of TCD.<\/p>\n
F.) TCD member privacy, according to the Bylaws, has also been
\nviolated. Again, an unidentified person was given our TCD membership
\nlist to distribute information via Yahoo Newsgroups. This was given
\nout by one or more of the remaining officers, which caused some
\nmembers to be upset their email addresses were given out. This never
\nshould have happened.<\/p>\n
I have given myself careful consideration on how best to resolve them
\nin most efficient manner without harming the reputation of TCD. With
\nthe list of my grievances above and many more that I have not
\nmentioned here. I have decided that resigning as President of TCD is
\nthe best option so as to preserve the integrity of this organization.<\/p>\n
Sincerely,<\/p>\n
Scott Randolph<\/p>\n
TCD President<\/p>\n
