Thank you for the update.
I can't say this is good news, there were others who behaved badly, did they
also get removed?

Subject: [DeTomaso] Removal of Michael Shortt as President of POCA

All,

Just an update,

As of July, 28th, 2016 7pm PST Michael Shortt in no longer in the position
of President of POCA. The Board of Directors had a meeting to decide what
steps needed to be taken to address the issues based on the behavior and
actions of Mr. Shortt, and the treatment of members and board members. As
per the  bylaws; we gave a a 5 day notice to all BOD members prior to this
meeting, we gave out an agenda, and the meeting was set as a regular BOD
meeting. Michael Shortt did not attend nor did Mike Burnett. John Buckman
resigned from the board earlier in the day due to medical illness.

Present at the meeting were:

Bob Reid - Treasurer
Joe Stockett - Secretary
Judy McCartney - Membership
Ed Mendez - PR

This constituted a quorum as per the bylaws as we had a majority 4 out of 6
remaining members.

We voted unanimously for the removal of Michael Shortt as President. We
drafted a letter and sent the notice below via certified mail.

Another meeting is set to decide the next steps.

If you receive any email from Mr. Shortt, he is sending it as a regular
member and not as the President of POCA.

We appreciate your patience in this matter.

Kind Regards,

Ed Mendez
POCA PR Director
