John, you have been slightly misinformed.
As I have relayed to Don already,
the Board did indeed vote on this amendment. This is not reflected in the IMPBA minutes, from where Don got his information.
It was not in the minutes, because we voted by email after the meeting, once the amendment was made.
In the interest of "Getting it done" we did not convene a formal Board meeting. The only oversight was that this vote should be mentioned in the minutes as an addendum. It will be in the future.
I would be willing to let you serve on this Board with us anytime.
Brian Schymik

I also would like to remind everyone that Dom's proposal was not voted on or approved by the IMPBA board of directors, it was tabled! This information was given to me by 2 different district directors. It back-doored it's way out to the general membership due to a loophole in our by laws. <_<
Would that be similar to the alleged loophole that to allows the MINORITY to decide a constitutional change?
With this tidbit of information now revealed, I guess I am baffled even more. Maybe I am just plain dumb, even with a college degree in business with concentration in management and pre-law. Why is it that the general IMPBA membership is voting on a constitutional admendment that has NOT been voted on by our elected district directors????? I consider it to be immaterial if there is a loophole in the bylaws and procedures. What about the inherent right to due process and the proper way that things should be handled for the best interest and welfare of the entire membership?
Again I ask for the senior management of IMPBA to step up and withdraw this admendment. How can each of you, in good conscience, look at each the members in the eye and tell us that you have served the best interest of the IMPBA by allowing this? If you can tell me you can, I will respond with you need to resign. PERIOD! This is irresponsible. Do it the right way or do not do it at all.
