What an embarrassing moment! But it seems that it’s a moment that we are currently experiencing in our Texas Section…
As of today (Sunday, October 26, 2008),
** It has been over a month since a baseless grievance was filed against me and I have yet to actually see a copy of the grievance or seen any credible action being taken to resolve it.
Evaluation: Obviously there is a breach of responsibility here since the national USTA has already sent down word that they have “handled” the grievance.
Suggestion: The members of the grievance committee need to assert the authority and responsibility that was given to them by the Texas Section Officials Committee.
** It has been over a month since one of our Texas coordinators was credibly accused of a serious legal offense and our section has done nothing.
Evaluation: This is obviously a very serious issue and involves financial irregularities.
Suggestion: The Sectional Chairman needs to immediately deal with this issue forthrightly and openly since the offense was public.
** Our section officials had a committee meeting in which the moderator completely ignored and violated Roberts Rules of Order and permitted a personal discussion of a committee member, his blog, and his private profession.
Evaluation: There is a serious lack of understanding about how a committee meeting is to be run.
Suggestion: See that the Sectional Chairman is given a copy of Roberts Rules of Order about how to conduct a meeting.
** The Texas Section website still is blank on the officials home page and the last newsletter published was over two years ago.
Evaluation: Something needs to be done and done quickly so officials around the state can be informed about things that affect their livelihood.
Suggestion: The Sectional Chairman should appoint someone that would actually do these tasks and do them quickly.
Folks, we are BEING CAUGHT WITH OUR PANTS DOWN. Its time for someone to step up and take some legitimate leadership in our section.
And to think that all we have to get worked up about is someone’s blog…
