How do you remove board members who have a dissenting vote ? Why have a board if everyone is required to vote same as the next guy ?

There is a much longer story that was told in a thread when it happened several years ago, but it wasn't the votes that caused it. The issue was over who controlled the Museum - the CAF or the Museum. There was a lot more that went on behind and in front of the scenes and basically at the end of it there was a decision that the actions of some (rightly or wrongly) violated the CAF Bylaws severely enough to be grounds for dismissal and were removed.

Personally, I think that no one involved handled the issue properly and definitely didn't go about it correctly. However, I definitely don't agree with the punishment. I think that they were acting in what they thought was the best interest of the Museum and the CAF, and while removal from the General Staff may have been warranted, removal from the entire organization, especially seeing how long all of them had been members, was not.

Well said, CAP.

I'm sick of organizational politics. I just want to fly warbirds...

Now that is the $64,000.00 question if there was ever one!! You have enough Lawyers and money you can do anything you want if the other side does not want to ruin the organization just to prove they are right. Like Taylor I am also sick of organizational politics....................so much that after over 30 years I finally had enough. Let the New guy do whatever he wants.
