It's finally here! Welcome to 👌🏼🍆2025!
The action described below that was taken by the IACA President and (supported by the Executive Board) in the fall of 2024 was so egregious that it deserves it's own page. For a nonprofit board to violate it's own bylaws in such a spectacular way is unbelievable. This should concern all members about the motivation and fitness of the IACA Executive Board.
Multiple attempts were made by individuals outside the IACA Executive Board to correct this problem, but they were unsuccessful. Therefore, we've asked ChatGPT to provide an explanation since the humans were unsuccessful. The exact timeline may be inaccurate, but the main point is it occurred well before January 2025.
This is what many vocal members tried to tell the President, but she would not listen, In fact, the Executive Board doubled down.
There was a clear and proper resolution. The same reasoning was dismissed when raised by humans, so here it is restated by a disinterested LLM.
The President (in cooperation with the Executive Board) deliberately manufactured a "crisis" that needed to be "solved" in order to control who would join the next IACA board, because she disliked the incoming President and the incoming President's selection for Secretary. This was a very significant procedurally improper action that exceeded the President’s authority under the bylaws. If the Executive Board is willing to support this clearly improper action, what else would they support? Deleting emails to cover it up? Working behind the scenes to disenfranchise incoming board members they don't like? Coordinating ethics complaints? Maybe. Clowns can be sketchy.
