OTW BOARD BULLSHIT
Nov. 22nd, 2015 09:14 pmHOLY SHIT YOU GUYS, THE OTW BOARD JUST ALL RESIGNED! Like, that is some epic fannish wank! So, links:
The Board elects to appoint Andrea back into office, even though the people don't want her. Andrea declines and the rest of the existing Board resign effective December 15 (this doesn't include the two new people that just got elected in!): http://transformativeworks.org/news/board-directors-update
The Elections Committee condemns this act: http://transformativeworks.org/news/board-appointment-last-place-candidate-empty-board-seat
The people, including OTW staffers in all different OTW positions, are furious (there are links to the chat where this all happened, you just have to read down for it): http://otwelections-unofficial.tumblr.com/
I actually think this will be a good thing for the OTW. We are rid of people who clearly aren't putting the Org's best interest first, and we have the best people possible already in place to start building a new and better Board who can actually serve the Org and the members. Still, I never expected it to go down like this.
