I wanted to give the BOD an update on our harassment investigation. I just talked with Paddy Morton, General Counsel for Maryland Non-Profits. She advised me that before issuing the final report I have two of GCFCG's board members in addition to our lawyer review the documents. I have given them one week, beginning Sunday, January 5th, 2020, to go over the report and give their recommendations.

Also in our conversation, Paddy mentioned that she would like to help us with the interpersonal conflicts that have been coming up as of late. She raised so good points too. Like what is the purpose of our organization? Do we have some clearly defined goals that we are trying to work towards? I have been talking to some other fandom groups who have similar issues, and they even admit that some of their members out right do not like each other for a variety of reasons. But they have decided that in the best interest of their community to work together.

 

I am going to continue to talk with Paddy to see what kind of resources (mediation, counseling, or other depute resolution services) Maryland Non-Profit can offer the GCFCG. And I think it would be in the best interests of the ICG to see what options they have as well. If this is a history repeating itself, then we owe it to our members and community to break the cycle once and for all. We have resources, let's use them.

So this is a lot of the same convo I had with her and with Wendy.  Wendy had lots of suggestions, but needed to wait until we had made payment to join.  Has the payment been made @Jeanine Swick ?
