Hear, hear, Alex! I agree with you! (there will be a brief pause while Mousethief recovers)

The executive committee of most nonprofit organizations is charged with the responsibility of making decisions for the organization it has been elected to represent. There will ALWAYS be folks who disagree with the decisions made by that group.

GUEST may have a perfectly legitimate grievance but the Executive Committee's side has yet to be heard from here in the Mudcat. We have only heard GUEST's views.

If I were a member, I would want to know more about why the Executive Committee's decided as it did before making a decision either way.

I have a feeling those of you who are members will be hearing from them directly(through the Executive Director) very soon.

And I can assure you McGrath, I certainly know of NO nonprofit organization in this country that could easily "eat" $300,000 in this country. Particularly a national service organization as this one apparently is.
