This is a post Jacque Dumas sent to the NARBC list that was not let go through to the members. Jacque was a LONG time Treasurer of NARBC (national angora rabbit breeders club) who did a great job and was a very honest person that donated her time to the club. She is no longer Treasurer because of the same pettyness only way worse, than I received!
Gee, Kim,
I am really sorry to see you go as WebMistress, but, I can relate to your feelings of frustration. Maybe one of these days, NARBC
Board Members and active Members will stop the "internal" back stabbing and politics and do what is best for the Club - keeping
everyone informed of what is going on. Since the newsletter is not out, and we do not have privy to the minutes of the Board Meeting and the Membership Meeting, we are out of the loop of what has happened - or what decisions have been made that resulted in your resignation. Personally, the fact that the results from the ARBA Convention have not been posted on the website, due to the lack of you receiving the results, should have spelled out internal operations going on. I also think that the minutes should be posted on the website as soon as the Convention is over - therefore there would be no relapse of time for the membership to know what is going on. After all, the meetings were in October, the minutes could have been posted by the middle of November to the website, and we are still waiting on the newsletter. (Sorry, Amanda, I know it is not all your fault.)
There is definitely a lack of communication between the VOLUNTEERS and the ACTIVE BOARD MEMBERS/DIRECTORS.
I was told a long time ago that a "few" members run this Club, but, I failed to believe it was true. But, after having been on "their" side, and then being just a "member", I have to agree. I have resigned from the politics and I am loving every minute of it. I congratulate any member that can be a active volunteer and keep above the politics that go on - they must have a very tough skin. I know that from personal experience.
We hate to see you leave as WebMistress. It has been a long time since the website has been so user friendly and informative and up-to-date. I am glad you did not let go your District 6 Director Position. Maybe you will have a say in what does happen finally about the website.
I do hope the group moderators let the membership read this post. If not, I will post it on my blog anyway.
Thanks,
Jacque Dumas
