Neighborhood politics
Last night, during a board meeting of a neighborhood association, I took an interesting step. I walked out.
In doing so, I halted a vote that I believe was very detrimental to the organization. The board was about to consider making a political endorsement on a local measure. I believe that such a stance is against the organization's Mission Statement, Vision Statement, and possibly its Bylaws. The organization's Bylaws were certainly compromised in bringing this matter to the board.
By walking out, I reduced the number of board members present from five to four, eliminating a quorum. My actions were apparently labeled childish and embarrassing by the remaining board members. But, I believe that I saved the organization, so I can live with it.
