Just thinkin' here. Could be for sure...Sometimes people can't separate one from another though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMDH Yamaha has a brand to protect. Do you realize how much money you could have just cost them?? Geeze if I was them I would be breaking out the lawyers. A little over dramatic, I think. Nobody said the allegations weren't serious. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterGibbons Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Does anyone have a copy of the YEA by-laws or governing documents? I'm curious to know what is the electing body that chooses the Board of Directors. I work for a 501(c)(3) and our bylaws are available on our website to members (we are a professional association). I couldn't find anything on the YEA website. Now just because YEA is a non-profit doesn't mean they have to have open elections. But the process and electing body (even if it is a closed committee) have to be spelled out somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sandusky case proved that. I'm not sure that what they knew, when, will be the crux of anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrk Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 No way of knowing what lies ahead. My hope is that those who were/are victims - both directly and indirectly - are supported. Those who were responsible - both directly and indirectly - are held accountable and atone. Attitudes, behaviors, and policies continue to evolve and prioritize the safety and health of all involved in the activity. That wiser folk than I make sure these things happen. And that the last post in this thread read: "The Mass is ended; go in peace." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made it up - READ the fine print. Sorry, but you made my point. People would click that story before they fully understood what it was saying. I hope Yamaha does the right thing and steps up (if the pressure to disassociate isn't too great! Geesh, headslap). You're quite the trickster. Yeah, clicking a link, nobody does that on the internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then think about spending your money on DCI events in the future. You bet they are covering their butts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
