As you are all undoubtedly aware, Phyllis Richland, well known by us all, is running for Vice President of UCO. Herein, I believe may be seen the kernel of a problem, which should be avoided. Why do I say this? Because, Stuart Richland is currently an incumbent Vice President and should Phyllis be elected, the spouses will be UCO Officers simultaneously!
-
If the spouses function as a perfect unit, the effect is much like having one board member with two votes.
-
I hasten to note that the UCO Attorney has found no legal reason to preclude simultaneous spousal service on the Officers Committee, but, I believe that in order to preclude any appearance of impropriety, Phyllis Richland should not be elected as UCO VP, at least, not until Stuart is no longer in office.

A husband and wife both as officers in my opinion is unethical. It might be legal but even in our condos we try to avoid this situation. Now if Phyllis wanted to run next year and her husband doesn't that would be great. But two people on the same OFFICERS COMMITTEE a husband and wife is a PROBLEM. I would suggest any delegate think this over VERY carefully before voting for Phyllis
ReplyDeleteI see the point, and I think Barbara makes it well. The likelihood is that husband and wife will vote the same if for no other reason than they have almost identical family concerns. For two out of the four sitting VPs to be husband and wife is pretty heavily weighted toward what the couple may want, even if both are faithful, experienced volunteers as is the case here.
