To: ISC Gunners FC Board of Directors
ISC Gunners FC. Enough! We want a new board NOW!
We are calling for the immediate resignation of ALL board members and the nomination and vote of an entirely new board. We recommend one exception - and that is for the purposes of continuity, Casey Stenzel should be asked to stay on as interim treasurer. The new board can then consider if he should remain on the board in this capacity or be removed and replaced.
Why is this important?
Wait…isn’t this supposed to be about the kids?
This is supposed to be a club that is, from its own website, “dedicated to teaching our youth the remarkable game of soccer while promoting sportsmanship, discipline and teamwork.”
This email and the apparent events of the past several months (years?) clearly indicates this board is incapable of leading by its own values. Sportsmanship? Discipline? Teamwork? Hardly.
Instead, as parents and coaches, we are watching a political nightmare and what appears to be an abuse of power. Financial improprieties?…conflicts of interest?…misuse of club’s membership directory? And yet, all we get is a vague email assuring us that everything is ok and the board is going to do a better job now? We have lost all trust and confidence in the board oversight of this club. This is behavior we would not tolerate in our children and we should not tolerate it in our so-called “leaders”.
