By the way, this has nothing to do with the Chapter Membership. It has everything to do with the local Chapter Leadership. So, the members did not commit an offence by electing their local Chapter Leaders whom they did. They did that in good faith (however miniscule number of individuals that may represent). It is rather the local Chapter Leaders that never showed good leadership in this Chapter as a history. If you want to show good leadership, show that in real terms by increasing memberships, increasing participations, increasing tolerance of differing opinions, increasing new bloods instead of electing /nominating by the methods of "you scratch my back and I will scratch your back" etc. Show leadership that are tangible to the members. That I will call strength. Showing rage and huff-and-puff after committing an offence and getting caught, is called weakness.
Sure, you have the right to jump in rage and claim righteousness and pretend good leadership etc. But remember, at the end I mentioned "this Chapter always had a hypocritic history". It was not an isolated incident that you can claim "oh! one mistake happened and we took care of it".
And the reason I did not bring it to anyone at the Chapter Leadership? Because I already know how this Chapter has been led for a long time - I had first hand experience of it - and had never had the confidence that bringing this to the Chapter Leaders was going to solve it ( when the main Chapter Leader was the offender) in the long run. I simply did not have that confidence.
Amalesh,
Our Chapter is led not by preachers but by elected, sworn-in volunteer professionals who strive to help our fellow members achieve new professional levels.
As humans, sometimes we don’t make the best choices. But as leaders, we recognize them and address them swiftly and appropriately on all necessary levels, which we did this time as well.
You chose to express your inaccurate and grossly exaggerated opinions not to other Chapter representatives present at the event (including me), but to our host, and now through a public forum/public shaming.
In my view this is an approach not worthy of our professional members and as such not worthy of further discussion.

We can all preach all the good things as we want, but if there is no practice of these good things, specially by the people that preaches them, then it only turns out as a hypocrisy. Case in point; The October 25, 2018 Fanuc event - it was not even an alcohol involved event - but an organiser of the event showed up completely drunk to the point of being incoherent the entire program time. But then, this Chapter always had hypocritic history.
