THE FOLLOWING WAS EMAILED EARLIER TODAY TO ALL GLA DIRECTORS VIA info@glamontana.org.
PUBLIC NOTICE:
ACCOUNTABILITY OF GLA DIRECTORS
"In ethics and governance, accountability is answer-ability, blameworthiness, liability, and the expectation of account-giving. As an aspect of governance, it has been central to discussions related to problems in the public sector, nonprofit and private (corporate) and individual contexts. In leadership roles, accountability is the acknowledgment and assumption of responsibility for actions, products, decisions, and policies including the administration, governance, and implementation within the scope of the role or employment position and encompassing the obligation to report, explain and be answerable for resulting consequences."

A major and long-time problem with the GLA Board of Directors is the historical lack of accountability of often a majority of directors. Being unaccountable is dishonest, deceitful and unethical. Historically, there have been and still are directors who are unable to separate their roles of church and state and who consequently are unable to represent all landowner members equitably and fairly. As a result of their fealty, members of their church are given special treatment and favoritism while those landowners who are not in their church are abused, manipulated, lied to, ignored, belittled, singled out, decreed against and otherwise mistreated by these CUT-affiliated directors and their supporters. Furthermore, these directors operate and often vote as a clique, and attempt to make policy and direct the association by undermining any attempts by landowners or other directors for full transparency and accountability.
All of this is simply about power and control of the GLA by a small group of radical, hard-line CUT members/directors who have been elected or intentionally appointed to the board by the board when a vacancy occurs. Perhaps more moderate CUT members of the GLA can open their eyes and hearts and see the divisive damage that those they have elected have perpetrated on this community, which is composed of both CUT-affiliated and non-affiliated landowners.
Presently there are three North Glastonbury CUT-affiliated directors who have been instrumental in developing a greenhouse for the CUT community who have abused their positions as directors in favor of CUT at the expense of an adjoining landowner and, in fact, the entire GLA community. The public trust in these directors has been severely damaged. If these directors are permitted to force their transgressions with impunity and remain unaccountable, the entire GLA continues to suffer the consequences.
It is high time that landowners of the association demand full disclosure, transparency and accountability by all directors. If a director is unable to perform appropriately, she/he should resign.
In regard to tonight's GLA board meeting: It is each director's duty and responsibility to represent ALL landowners which means in appointing a new director for South Glastonbury that you each vote for the most qualified person who has demonstrated ability, knowledge and commitment over the years to the GLA; someone who has a working knowledge of the GLA, who has been active in attending board and committee meetings, and who will represent ALL landowners equally and fairly. For years the GLA has needed a financially savvy treasurer. For years Regina has unselfishly donated her expertise, time and funds to assist various treasurers in fulfilling their duties and the GLA as a whole. She is the only logical choice to fill the open director position!
Act wisely,
