As a current member of the Board of Directors, I will address this in the proposal of a "Code of Conduct " for rf and e-communications that we all should be reverent to. I actually brought this up last year, but it was tabled. My ask is that the general public Please REFRAIN from further public commentary on this matter or from inter-personal attitudes and greviences. This is not the place for those. Once you write it, it cant be retracted, and is forever "out there", much like words spoken on the radio. This forum is for HAM Radio and BVARC awareness of activities and mentoring, whereas private attitudes towards one or more persons individually needs to be handled 1:1. Let's treat all members and officers with respect under the golden rule: "do unto others as you would have them do to you". Please be patient while we address this. Feel free to bring any issues to me personally if needed. SincerelyTerry. Bvarc BOD 2024-2025 Terry Leatherland, K5PGF281-455-8090Sugar Land, Tx

There is one member of the board that is the problem. He requires EVERYTHING to go through him. Then he drops the ball and NEVER follows up on anything. The first 10 - 15 minutes of meetings are him apologizing for not getting back to people. BVARC has a board or so it claims, but if you look at the web site there is only one name/contact person listed, and that one person is unreachable and does not reply to messages. During my time as a club member I saw lots of people willing to step up and help with hamfest, and other club events only to be put down, overlooked and flat out ignored by this one member. Nothing about this club will change until that member is replaced.

If a person is extremely sick, they can not get to the meeting. Look it up - You can find yourself.... Also, if a person is not answering, and as a conscientious radio operator, we should check in on them and find out what happened. As an active member, I called and found out. What do you think I should do for people that commit to a function and do their job? I have a few situations right now.... Also, what do you think I need to do as a member when I was yelled at and in a public place by an officer? As an active member, you are listed on the roster. You look for the person's call sign or name and you can find their number. Just call and ask.But please, look on the roster for w5lic - you should see at least your name. Someone please check the rules for the Goose and the Gander? Kori? you are in on this, what are your thoughts? Do we need to continue or should we stop now?I would put that question to Mike, but I know he is temporarily unavailable today.. He has a life too. You are next in command, and should be able to set the example.

I know some of the board members make time to be there, why can't he? At least give notice as per the by-laws. Canceling the meeting the day of is not the right thing to do. (Article V Section GProvisions applicable to meetings of the Board of Directors shall be: 1. The board of directors shall meet monthly on the first Thursday of the month at 7:30 PM at a location voted upon at a previous board of directors meeting unless changed by a majority of the board members by giving proper notice 7 days in advance.. Special meetings may be called by either a majority of the board members or the Chairman with 7 days notice either in writing or by verbal contact with each Board member.) As for the Hamfest meeting the by-laws don't play a factor here but some common courtesy should be shown to the people that are helping the coordinator of the event. ________________________________________________ Brazos Valley Amateur Radio Club BVARC mailing list BVARC@bvarc.org http://mail.bvarc.org/mailman/listinfo/bvarc_bvarc.org Publicly available archives are available here: https://www.mail-archive.com/bvarc@bvarc.org/ -- Richard Bonica C: 281.935.7222 Email: kg5...@gmail.com Freq: 147.000 - DMR - Digital Mobile Territory: NE Fort Bend CERT, CST, EST, WEB EOC, HSEEP, FEMA PD, Wilderness First Aid, CPR, Extra Ameture Radio ________________________________________________ Brazos Valley Amateur Radio Club BVARC mailing list BVARC@bvarc.org http://mail.bvarc.org/mailman/listinfo/bvarc_bvarc.org Publicly available archives are available here: https://www.mail-archive.com/bvarc@bvarc.org/ ________________________________________________ Brazos Valley Amateur Radio Club BVARC mailing list BVARC@bvarc.org http://mail.bvarc.org/mailman/listinfo/bvarc_bvarc.org Publicly available archives are available here: https://www.mail-archive.com/bvarc@bvarc.org/
