The Cadets and GH history of sexual abuse (news article)

I doubt you have been on a board quite like the old YEA board. Just a hunch that there are no minutes in existence. Did they even hold meetings? Or did GH just tell them whatever he wanted. 

I have been on a number of boards, and I know what is required. Whether worthwhile topics were discussed is something that can obviously be debated, but there is no way minutes of an organization like that are not kept. I will wager a $100 donation to the Cadets that they exist.  The identity of the board officers at the time, including the chairman and secretary, is recorded in the public filings.  Just ask.

I have been told that maintaining minutes for a 501-c-3 is a requirement, and that you can get them if you ask.  Every board I have been on has kept minutes on file (possibly related to the 990?).  Have you looked?

Keeping minutes is a standard practice of a board, but  I do not believe it is a requirement. I do not believe minutes are required when submitting Form 990, and even if it is required ( I did take a quick peak at a sample 990), the minutes would not be for the public record. A person off the street cannot knock on the door of a non-profit and demand to see minutes of board meetings. If they could, lots of folks on DCP would have pounded down the doors of different corps a long time ago.

100% speculation...I'm curious how long it finally took yea to turn off the "YEA" credit cards that GH was using...I wonder if GH had the gall to also use them for personal consumption after being let go...It would not surprise me...

nothing would surprise me

Correct. Board minutes are not included in the 990, nor generally available for public viewing. (However, at least in the organization where I work, the (independent) auditors, when preparing our audited financial statements each year, do ask to review the minutes of our board and finance committee.)

I read it too and kept thinking where the hell was a third person who could be a witness. Being around young people like this should never come down to he said/she said. Dumb move if no other adults were around. Lot of places that have adults around kids mandate always two adults to protect both sides

I thought about this Jim, now you mentioned that. Heck... the Color guard staff at Lower Dauphin when I was there (counts on fingers) had at least 3-5 individuals depending on the rehearsal. MHS had at least 2-3 as well. You'd reasonably think this BoA level band in the article had several guard instructors at every rehearsal, wouldn't you? At least 2 in the form of the Caption head and assistant, or Caption Head and Dance Specialist.... I can go on...

With regard to the vehicle and the laptop and whatever other physical property he may still have, I would imagine he could argue that since he hadn't been fired until yesterday, he didn't not see an issue there.

I understand the publicity, the way it looks, the situation and everything else discussed... but, is that not par for the course for him?  Has he not, for a period of time, shown that he does not have that filter or care to even acknowledge that that filter exists, let alone care what others think?

He's a yam bag.  Nothing that may come out in the future will surprise me.  

 

Karma, Earl
