And thoughts fellow forum members on why this may be?SDAminister

Quote from: Gailon Arthur Joy on August 07, 2008, 09:07:47 AMAnd that is another big difference between Hartland and 3ABN:Hartland has a constituency that meets and follows the church manul form of governance, although the constituency, because of the geo-politics, is largely composed of Hartland employees and therefore, a bit "pliable" by management. 3ABN's constituency is the 16 members of the board of directors, which up until last year, were all picked by Danny Lee Shelton. If you read my article on governance, you will see we have addressed the issue. It would seem that ASI would be a natural constituency, not the ASI Missions,Inc board. And thus why our early efforts were directed at the intransigent board. ANd most importantly, until the board finally stepped to the plate last year, there was little or no real accountability!!! Obviously, the vast majority of donors are unrepresented here: Donation without representation!!! And for many years, no accountability. Gailon Arthur JoyI've heard that in the past (and maybe even today?) anyone could request a copy of Hartland's yearly audit and they would sent it to you. Is this the same for 3ABN?SDAminister
