Re: [AlpacaTalk] A new organization???
Susan,
the only way to make certain that the BOD hears you is to write them directly. I have just sent the email below to the entire BOD. The email addresses are on the contact page of alpacaowners.

Dear AOBA BOD,
I write you this morning filled with unformed questions and a deep level of concern for the industry I love.
The abrupt end to the Affiliate Congress started the landslide of concern. The mandate of the AC was to better communication between the members and the BOD. Something that seemed to be working quite nicely.
But the resignation of the third BOD member since July leads one to quickly reach the conclusion that the BOD is at a high level of dysfunction. It would behoove the board to communicate quickly and clearly to the membership just what the problems are and exactly how you plan to resolve the issues.
While I have a great level of respect for your giving your time and energy to our association I feel the time for clarity has come and gone. Please address this issue so as to avoid further distrust from the membership. Many of you ran for office on the premise that you would communicate frequently and clearly ....

Jennifer:
Before this time, I have always remained fairly quiet re: anything
political. Don't like politics so usually just stay quiet until I
get so riled up that I try to stop the fighting, falling flatly on my
face. this time, I'm being much more vocal.
I agree with you that there is still just too much information left
unknown. I would hope that whatever wounds are around can be
adequately licked, heal over, and just a memory remaining of how it
happened. I want and NEED AOBA to remain strong and to stick to the
agenda of the group....... that meaning the majority of people who ARE
AOBA, not a few who we might now think are pursuing their own
personal goals.....or so it seems at the current time. Again, I have
no idea of what is going on and can only speculate, in a very broad
sense, based on the little info in Scott's resignation. Which simply
boils down to, "I don't know nothin'" and suspect very nearly
everyone else is in the same boat.
That said........ .....I'm posting because I want to make sure that
the board hears that we want some answers. We want to know just what
is going on and the sooner the better. I cannot continue to support
a board that isn't posting minutes, uses verbage that they surely
know has the potential to upset much of the membership, has rapid
resignations without full disclosure as to 'why', and disbanding
groups that allow for increased member input, etc........it just has
a very bad odor to it and we, the membership, are entitled to
answers. WE gave them their jobs and therefore are entitled to know
what they're doing. And if they want our continued support, I, for
one, cannot give that blindly under the present set of
circumstances. Help me help you!
Okay, now if anybody DOES know what's happening, please email me
privately. As I said, I tend to shy away from politics and AOBA is
no different to me in that sense. But I do feel that a couple of
well placed informational emails would do the org well......
