I. MEMBER LETTER TO THE IEB<\/p>\n
The IEB\/AFM are ignoring membership concerns in Los Angeles,
\nhoping the complaints are just going to go away….. They won’t.

\nRE: Local 47\/Club 47 Referendum<\/p>\n
Dear Secretary-Treasurer Blumenthal,<\/p>\n
I am writing you today because I have not received any response to correspondence sent to President Ray Hair and the International Executive Board for consideration at the July 2016 IEB Meeting.<\/p>\n
The issues raised in my letter dated May 15, 2016 warranted serious discussion concerning the governance of Local 47 AFM in conducting it\u2019s referendum vote.\u00a0 My letter was in direct response to Pres. Ray Hair\u2019s letter of April 24, 2016.\u00a0 Ray Hair cited lack of detail regarding objections to the referendum that would allow the parent body to exercise oversight.\u00a0 I think I have remedied any lack of detail by my letter of May 15, 2016.\u00a0 The passage of that referendum allows Local 47\/Club 47 Executive Board to divest the membership of it\u2019s wholly owned real property in the heart of Hollywood, CA.<\/p>\n
Please note that the letter of April 24, 2016 from Pres. Ray Hair does not disclose whether the IEB March meeting actually had any discussion or made any decision as a board on my initial letter on the same issue addressed to Ray Hair and the IEB dated February 16, 2016. That letter, as I was told by then Secretary-Treasurer Sam Folio, was set to be on the agenda for the March meeting.\u00a0 In Pres. Ray Hair\u2019s reply letter to me following the March IEB meeting, there was no indication that it had been considered by the full Board.\u00a0 In addition, I have read the Minutes from the March meeting that were finally posted on the AFM website in July.\u00a0 There appears to have been no discussion of the this issue.<\/p>\n
After sending the May 15, 2016 letter, I contacted the Secretary-Treasurer’s New York office regarding it\u2019s inclusion for the July IEB meeting.\u00a0 I was told my letter had been sent directly to legal and they didn\u2019t know if it would make the July meeting. It is now almost mid-August and I received no reply to my May 15, 2016 letter.<\/p>\n
It does not appear that either letter of February 16, or May 15, addressed to President Ray Hair and the International Executive Board was actually reviewed or discussed by the full Board.\u00a0 I would like this issue prioritized and discussed\/considered by the full Board as soon as possible. (Perhaps a teleconference would be in order considering the time sensitive nature of this issue.)\u00a0 I respectfully request that the decision be sent to me without delay.\u00a0 This has been an ongoing issue since February 2016.<\/p>\n
Thank you for your time and immediate attention to this matter,<\/p>\n
