Bittersweet
February 23, 2010
This evening I was voted off the board by our president who came to the meeting with 46 Proxy Votes. (which is slightly more than half of the available lots)
I guess I should be pleased to be able to make a clean break and focus my energy on more important things. However, I am a little embarrassed too as I made a scene. I stood up at the end of the vote and turned off the projector, that I brought, picked up my computer and unplugged my extension cord.
I am not exactly sure what I said, but I just looked at Jeff and said that I hope if he doesn’t have the “time” this year that he would be willing to step down or ask for help.
Jeff Jenkins voted for his 9 board members and I was not included. I was really only angry with him, but the 35 votes that I received from the “masses” was not enough to put me on the board.
Again, I know I should be grateful but instead I am embarrassed. It was my pride – I worked so hard to keep the board together this past year. I guess I thought at the very least I would be on the board again.
One person has already stepped down – on the night he was voted in – because of the arguments that went on that evening.
