Guest Totti Posted February 8, 2019 at 01:51 PM Report Share Posted February 8, 2019 at 01:51 PM What should be done when the president or chair person is behaving in such a way that intimidates belittles embarrasses humiliates another member during a meeting... and also makes character assassination style accusations, implications of wrongdoing of another member, and refuses to provide evidence for the accusations? The other members are apathetic towards the abusive treatment, and there is no process for submitting a grievance against a board member or officer.

Chris Harrison Posted February 8, 2019 at 02:40 PM Report Share Posted February 8, 2019 at 02:40 PM See FAQ #20 for a long term solution. See RONR pp. 644-653 for dealing with the issue as it is happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Brown Posted February 9, 2019 at 11:17 AM Report Share Posted February 9, 2019 at 11:17 AM Agreeing with both Mr. Harrison and Mr. Martin, RONR provides procedures for dealing with these types of issues, but it is first up to the membership to want to do something about it.

Benjamin Geiger Posted February 11, 2019 at 11:22 PM Report Share Posted February 11, 2019 at 11:22 PM On the other hand, it's entirely possible that the membership is apathetic because they don't know that there are remedies available. I'd recommend making contact with some other members and seeing if they'd be interested in drumming up support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
