Rick I know you have your hands full with loss of half your board,but you have some great intentions. Who will become the NACD training director?
Yes Rick, I will admit I was fishing. I was really curious if anyone who resigned, did so after being accused of training violations.ucfdiver it appears you are fishing in the way you ask this?
Yes we have discussed instructor standards violations. An investigation is being conducted and is still in process. An instructor has rights as part of our QA procedures, one of which is a QA hearing for the instructor to present their side of the issue. Until the time of the hearing a pending status may be applied. Suspension or Probation is normal, to be expelled is possible. I will ensure and protect the rights of that instructor and respect the procedure and process that must be followed. Such investigations are conducted by the training committee.
I'm sure if you had a "Judge, Jury and Executioner" position on the BOD, half the people in this thread would be applying for it. Was that too snarky?
Yes Rick, I will admit I was fishing. I was really curious if anyone who resigned, did so after being accused of training violations.
one of them was not an instructor, one was training director, and one was former president. You do the math on the second two as those are the important ones to this discussion. The first is a real shame because MAG was one of the best things to happen to the organization in recent times.
No one was/is accusing you of having anything to do with it Rick, but you can draw conclusions on why someone who has been so passionate about being the TD just resigned seemingly out of the blue, combined with the former President, both of whom had just accepted new positions on the board a few months ago. That doesn't "just happen" it is with reason, you know what those reasons are obviously and likely won't be sharing them which is fine, it is something that very much seems like "you have the opportunity to resign before sh!t hits the fan, or you can ride it out and take the public sh!tshow that will ensue.
