Challenges, Goals and Nothingness
Posted by pamhampton on April 16, 2012 
Have you ever known a situation where there was something amiss and when things finally blew up, a lot of people already knew about it and didn’t do anything about it? Nothing. In my opinion, a lot of mishaps could be avoided, if people would speak up about things. We experience unnecessary discord because people allow things to go on that shouldn’t. Allowing things to go unchecked means: There is too much corroboration. There is no accountability. There is no correction. That being said, let’s talk about the challenges. Yes, those election challenges which were due (in a sealed envelope) to the organization on March 21, 2012. The email said, .. “Let us use this opportunity to move forward and accomplish the goals this organization was set to fulfill.”

Here it is, in black and white. This email was sent to our members exactly one month ago. Who corroborated and decided not to answer these challenges? Somebody. Obviously, no one is being held accountable to investigate and answer. At least 3 challenges were submitted, one prior to the election and two afterwards. There may be more, but the challenges I am aware of were all submitted within the specified deadline. To my knowledge, none of the members I know has received an answer.
What?
Is someone sitting back eating Bon Bons and smiling? One of the CNLI Committee Chairmen told me a specific board member was in charge of the election challenges. I am not surprised. He told me I should have received an answer weeks ago. Dang. Is this how we roll? These are the types of things that are threatening our success. I guess I should rephrase that: These are the types of people that are threatening our success. If you sent in an election challenge and received and answer, let us all know.
I believe this type of thing, this blatant lack of action, is destroying our organization from the inside out. I can certainly feel the President’s pain, being surrounded by a group of people who are doing little to nothing to contribute to our success. Freaking Naysayers…
Willie P…, tell me a joke. Make me smile through this pain. You always make a sister laugh and smile. I know, even your hands are tied. For the record, I’m all for democracy. If Willie P is the true victor, so be it. He’s a joker, but not a cheater, by any means.
So what happens next? Probably nothing.
How long must we wait on this nothingness? Probably until the next election.
When is the next election? September 2013, probably.
What will we do until then? What are our goals? Why, I don’t know. I’m at a loss for words, really.
Can we meet up and talk about this? Ask. Ask who? Somebody in charge.
Who’s that? Send an email to bpaMemberAlert@yahoo.com so we can get together as members and figure it out.
What’s the alternative? No accountability. No correction. Nothing.
Taking personal stabs at the blogger isn’t going to change the issue.
