To my tribes

A motion of no confidence (alternatively vote of no confidence, censure motion, no-confidence motion, or (unsuccessful) confidence motion) is a motion whose passing would demonstrate to the that the body of people no longer has confidence in the appointed government. What WE want matters, what they (Each Board of Director) want should never be more significant than the general councils wants or needs.
Do not look down on me, my children nor my people. I am here because I chose to be. Thanks you for the education, I just wish we could utilize ALL of our strengths, instead of fear them and push them aside.

A MUST WATCH VIDEO ON BULLIES

Bullies!

Bullying is a form of aggressive behavior, which can be in the form of force or coercion to affect or hurt the victims or target(s).  It can be in the form of verbal harassment, physical assault, intimidation, or coercion and based on grounds of race, religion, gender or sexuality.  Often there is a "imbalance of power" involving the bully, which may be social power and/or physical power.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails. 1 Corinthians 13

To Whom It May Concern:                      

I am writing this letter to you to inform you of the current status of my position and my employment concerns.  Last year February 2011, I had attended a closed meeting with the Board of Directors.  At the time I was concerned with the 477 Plan, the sabotaging and the lateral violence that was occurring with in our “Adult” Services.  Melvin Sheldon informed Veronica Iukes and me,  that Paula Cortez would be the contact person and we would not have to endure mistreatment from our Senior Manager.  At this point I handed over the 477 plan amendments and our concerns to Paula.  Then she left her position, with out meeting and talking to the 477 department, nor following through with the 477 Plan and amendments.   This left us at the whim of whom we were concerned with, a plan that does NOT help our people and displaced employee, ME.  I feel that the ball was dropped at the BOD and General Manager level.  This mismanagement has negatively affected the 477 department and my livelihood. 

I would like some answers.
