TMAC Special National Board Meeting

December 7, 2020, via ZOOM

Present: Tracy Ford, Dale Dunlop, Guy Thériault, Jerry Grymek, Jami Savage, Darcy Rhyno, Monica MacNeil, Paul Knowles

Regrets: Kattrin Duncan

This meeting was held to continue the discussion concerning the role of the Executive Director, and the information learned during the process of researching the answers to questions raised by members of TMAC, as communicated by Lucas Ackroyd.

DD: Called the meeting to order, and invited each member of the board, in turn, to voice their opinions concerning the situation. There was consensus that many valid issues had been raised, and that there have been failures to fully carry out duties on the part of the board, and on the part of the ED.

At the end of a frank and open discussion, DD announced that he was taking responsibility for the board’s failures, and that he was resigning as President, while retaining his membership in TMAC. He said that he would be sending an email to all members of TMAC to this effect. He then left the meeting.

TF assumed the chair, in her new role as Acting President.

The Q&A document prepared by JS and PK, responding to all questions raised by TMAC members, was discussed. There were minor additions suggested to the Q&A section, and it was decided that details concerning the resignation of DD, and the roles of the H&R committee and the Governance committee be added to the introductory piece. PK agreed to make the changes, seek quick approval from members of the board, and then send it to the ED, to be sent asap to all TMAC members.

The 22-page document contained a commitment that it would be included in the minutes of the TMAC National Board, and it is therefore included in the minutes of this meeting.

TF adjourned the meeting.
