This is false and you are uninformed.
Kris was scheduled at 10am the other 3 were scheduled for their own times starting after 12pm, they all had their own individual times to show up and chose to send a letter as a group saying they wouldn’t be attending.
No other disciplinary hearings have been open to the public in the past since the board wanted to not air their situations publicly.
They chose not to show up after 2 weeks of notice.
now post the acknowledgement from Kris to Ken at Midnight previous. Uh huh, secrets upon secrets.
If you are going to call bullshit you should get your bullshit in order.
Fact: Kris’s hearing was at 10 am. Not 1 pm.
Fact: we received notification via multiple methods that none of them intended to appear.
Fact: the charges against the remaining board members were dismissed so there was no need for the later hearing.
Fact: no discipline hearings have been open to the public.
As to the expulsion of Kris Anderson, we presented her with evidence of approximately $3000 worth of fraud on her part. We allowed her time to prepare a case, allowed her access to QuickBooks and expensify to prepare a defense. She chose instead to make a hasty exit rather than defend her multiple instances of using the makerspace card for personal gain.
You can talk all the trash you want but it’s clear from kris’s actions on this she knew she was caught and chose to get out first and try to control the narrative.
So I ask you, do you support theft from a charity? Are you really standing up for someone who rented vehicles with makerspace money for her personal use? Are you really standing up for someone who lied to the membership and expelled people who tried to stop her fraud?
If you think kicking out a thief makes us scoundrels then I seriously question your judgement. If you support her actions, you are the scoundrel!
What now? The one where she sent is a non certified letter and Ken kindly told her we received it? That one? We didn’t even get the letter until yesterday. But whatever, I guess.
then post the email on when you asked her and the othe rmembers to show up. 10am or 1pm.
What about it? She claimed to have sent a certified letter from a lawyer and sent it via priority mailer, on Saturday. The letter stated that none of them would be showing up.
Ken was just acknowledging that he got the letter. She sent her email at 10:10pm so a 2 hour return on those emails isn’t bad at all considering they had 2 weeks.
They all knew for 2 weeks that they could contact and set up a time to meet.
Disciplinary hearings aren’t open to the public to protect the privacy of the accused. Also, some of our members may have anxiety or other issues about speaking in public so it seems unfair to drag them in front of everyone to make them defend themselves. Anyone who is accused is welcome to bring anyone they like to a disciplinary hearing - one person brought a friend with them and we didn’t turn the friend away.
Kris’s email is in Pearce’s screenshot above.
The others were notified on the same day. Given that their complaints were dismissed, it’s kind of immaterial to post their respective email headers.
I feel like I am in a dream, I can’t believe it.
Yeah, so Pearce just showed otherwise… You have no idea what you are talking about because you only have kris’s side of the story.
The fact is we took months investigating the finances, we provided her ample chance to prove her case. Instead of presenting a case she planned a happy hour at chill in Lewisville. She knew she was busted and knew she had no case.
She stole from the membership repeatedly. She doesn’t deserve to be here.
You don’t have a defense of her fraud so you can take your indignation somewhere else.
Dude, are you even reading what’s being posted? It literally says 10am and Kris acknowledged it.
Maybe instead of alluding something sinister, you should post tangible evidence.
Just how do you know any of this? You’re not a board member. You’re just part of the cleanup group. anything you have to say is just hearsay. Why would brad share them with you if you if you DON’T have a need to know. Or is it SOP for the board to share emails to suboranates/co-conspiritors?
DmsBiz is the [email protected] list, which has all officers and directors…
admin@dms has been D&O group for the better part of a year now, and it was CC’ed on the notifications.
Let’s just see what the membership thinks. And it’s not due to transparency on the part of the board.
