\n===========================================<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I. WHAT IS EXECUTIVE SESSION?<\/p>\n
No information has been forthcoming from the board concerning
\nthe building sale. Last we heard, the building had fallen out of escrow
\nnot once, but twice.<\/p>\n
A member who attends the board meetings has found that the building
\nhas only been discussed in executive session. When asked about the
\nbuilding or the status of the sale, the standard answer now is “We cannot
\ndiscuss anything that happens in executive session”.<\/p>\n
So the question arises, is the board using executive session as<\/p>\n
an excuse to keep the membership that cares in the dark?<\/p>\n
Perhaps the use of executive session for the building discussion<\/p>\n
is legit,….<\/p>\n
“An executive session is a term for any block within an otherwise open meeting (often of a board of directors) in which minutes are taken separately, outsiders are not present, and the contents of the discussion are treated as confidential (see in camera).[7]<\/p>\n
In a deliberative assembly, an executive session has come to mean that the proceedings are secret and members could be punished for violating the secrecy.[8] The business that is conducted in executive session could include legal issues, formation of contracts, disciplinary
\nhearings, or personnel issues.”<\/p>\n
So can the local choose to discuss the building only in executive session? Certainly. Is it of such a sensitive nature that it MUST be discussed in executive session and the membership be kept in the<\/p>\n
dark? Not in all cases.<\/p>\n
However, since the membership has shown again and again that<\/p>\n
they simply don’t care, or don’t care enough to speak of it in public<\/p>\n
for fear of some imaginary blacklisting, (The work is gone for<\/p>\n
most, what’s to blacklist?)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Perhaps it doesn’t really matter.<\/p>\n
