The app for independent voices

I would add, that's speaking to having an *official* legal mechanism...community members have free reign to organize in various ways to push for things, i.e. a petition or protest. I think where it would get tough is trying to hold blanket accountability for all seven board members when they all have different shares of blame.

The reality is, there are four incumbents and three have not declared their intentions around running again. Part of me would love nothing more than to have the public weigh in on them given the current circumstances we're in under their watch, but it's scary to think of the prospect any of them could be allowed to continue beyond this term.

For the other three, Sergio has been a board member for far longer than the other two and is more deeply attached to most of the current mess given nearly 8 years of being involved. I don't have a great read on Mya, but Omar has seemed to be reasonable. You have to also consider that some of these more tenured board members likely carry disproportionate power in voting, decision making, etc.

Having the entire board just resign overnight probably isn't helpful at this stage, with everything else going on. Asking the current president and longest-tenured board member not up for reelection in the spring to step down might be the biggest acknowledgement of accountability and doing right by the community he serves, but I don't think there's any chance he has the self-awareness to take his medicine. Can't wait for the latest edition of "say it to my face" based on this...
