Extraordinary General Meeting
Please attend an extraordinary General Meeting to be held on March 7, 2010, from 2-4 PM, at the Crowne Plaza, 104-04 Ditmars Blvd, East Elmhurst, NY 11369 (across LaGuardia Airport in Queens, New York). The meeting will start at 2 pm and end at 5 pm sharp on time.
This extraordinary meeting has been scheduled in response to a petition signed by 52 members of BAPA and received by the Executive Committee on January 26, 2010. The petitioners are of the opinion that in conducting the election of the Executive Committee for 2010-2011 term, there “has been violation of the constitution and by-laws of BAPA in selecting the election commission and execution of the election process”.
We believe the petition (faxed to BAPA Executive Committee on January 26, 2010) and an update from us on the election (e-mailed on January 24, 2010, followed by regular mail) may have crossed in the mail. We provided a comprehensive summary of events and detailed discussions that have happened during several meetings held recently. We are confident that the petitioners, had they read the detailed information provided in January 24 e-mail, might have felt differently about the need for a “special general council meeting”. At this extraordinary General Meeting, we will clarify the background of the impasse, the efforts taken by the Executive Committee and the current plan of action to resolve the issue.
