Much of the problem of outside control of the League is due to appointed directors (5 out of 12) who are not accountable to the members. We cannot vote them out of office, even for misconduct. This makes it imperative that all of the elected directors are committed to reforming the board so control is returned to members.
The board voted in summer 2010 to add three more members — two of them appointed. This will make 7 of 15 board members appointed and will further dilute members’ influence.
In addition, the board controls who can get on the ballot. This makes elections meaningless.
