Hi Ann, I suggest the board meet and sort the finance issue. The last meetup was too chaotic and I am afraid I am no longer going to attend any meetup unless all the cornerns we raised regarding finances are addressed by the board. Best Isaac On Aug 27, 2012 7:43 PM, "Ann Njeri" wrote: > Hi all?

David, Just that? From my understanding, we as a board are indeed supposed to meet to discuss the financial issues and before we can get back to the members with a clear direction? On Tue, Aug 28, 2012 at 7:44 AM, David Mugo wrote: > Isaac, > > There is no finance issues to be sorted, we are

Oscar, As the vice chair of the board, is your work to question every little thing people do? There is a proper way to handle issues. That does not mean avoiding them but it also does not mean confrontation. You are part of the board, meaning you are on the board's mailing list, why did you choose

David, Oscar is right, unless you had agreed to have a board meeting before 8th and he is not informed otherwise what he is asking is a genuine question and I beleive like any other person he has a right to ask. Lets not run away from the real issue On Aug 28, 2012 8:03 AM, "Limoke Oscar" wrote:

Isaac, If it were you asking that question, I would have no issue. Oscar is part of the board and there is a mailing list for the board. And yes, that was the plan, just not in the way Oscar wants to bring it. Just so you know, 2 of the board members might not be present for the meetup but the pla

Hi David, That is a good way. If that is the case (Board meeting before 8th) Then I will attend. Just so you know, it was not Oscar who disrupted the last meetup and I do not question his concerns because I beleive they are genuine. Secondly, if Oscar is aware that there is going to be a board meet

Oscar, It is why I insist you need to handle this as a leader in the team. I have to contact individuals because the board is only 5 members before setting a date for the meetup. I am done arguing with you, simply learn to handle things without being a Khalwale on these issues. David. On Tue, Au

I second Branton. Even if its just an informal cup of tea somewhere to clear the air and create channels to work out differences in house, it makes sense for the board members to come together and establish commo ground before the September 8th meeting. It's really depressing as a new member t
