Timeline and Correspondence

Click Here for the Timeline and Correspondence document.  This document contains a clear timeline of events beginning in mid August to the present.  There is also a sequential presentation of emails that were sent to the group of 12 leader of SNAP who sent a letter in mid September requesting a meeting with the Board of Directors and outlining serious concerns that were to be part of that conversation.  Subsequently, the Board of SNAP did not meet with the group but did arange an 8-hour mediation.  This mediation was to be run by a group called ____ and paid for by SNAP.  During the first 4-hour session of the mediation, the group never met with the Board.  The members of the board found ways to stall any mediation and finally they stopped the entire process by refusing to talk to 8 of the 12 leaders because the board declared that they were not vetted or ratified as leaders.  Read the document for full details.

ARE you a vetted leader in SNAP?  You may be shocked!!!

Eight leaders were recently excluded from mediation with the Board of Directors of SNAP.  8 out of 12 rejected! How? Why? It's time for you to ask the Board if you are ratified and vetted as a leader.  Don't say, "I've been a leader for a LONG TIME with SNAP. I'm sure I'm vetted and ratified."  The Board applied arbitrary rules to these 8 leaders and excluded them from discussions!  


Go to the contact list of the Board of Directors and demand to know if you are vetted.  If not, demand to know why not.  If you want to examine the fight to be heard that these 12 leaders have gone through, go to Timeline and Correspondence.
