Held April 23 with 178 verified members present (quorum: 100). All 5 resolutions passed with 85–99% approval. 5 directors removed.
Special Meeting • April 23, 2026
The Board suspended the top vote-getters one day before results went public — then declared different winners. 180+ members petitioned for a Special Meeting. The Board declared the petition “invalid.” So we called it ourselves, as California law allows.
The questions submitted by members in the run-up to the meeting, and the organizers’ responses, remain published as part of the meeting record. The first batch was formally delivered to the Board and the suspended members on April 18.

No other business may be transacted at this meeting.
The now-suspended candidates submit their applications to stand for election to the Board of Directors, one day before the February 8 deadline.
The CEO confirms the eligibility of all three candidates to run for the Board. They are cleared to stand for election. No disciplinary concerns are raised at this time.
524 members cast ballots on ElectionBuddy, the independent third-party platform chosen by PSIA-W. Four seats were open. The certified results are still publicly accessible. Top 4: Barclay Moore (268), Bryan Martel (252), Brent Boblitt (233), Julie Brown (225).
The Board sent suspension letters to five members — including the top two vote-getters and the sitting Board Treasurer. The suspended candidates have stated they received no prior notice of any investigation. The 21-day response deadline was set to April 10 — weeks after election results would be announced and seats assigned.
The organization published election results that omitted the top two winners entirely. The 6th place finisher (155 votes) and 7th place finisher (152 votes) were declared “winners” instead of the members the electorate actually chose.
The Board cancelled the planned virtual Town Hall “listening session” — the only forum where members could ask questions about the election. No replacement was offered.
154 members signed a formal petition under Bylaws §7.2 demanding a Special Meeting with binding votes — more than three times the 50-signature minimum. The petition continued to collect signatures after delivery, reaching a final count of 184 PSIA members plus 26 community supporters. Read Filed Petition →
The Board declared the petition “invalid” on undisclosed grounds and announced a non-voting informational forum on April 21 instead. No specific reasons for invalidity were provided.
80 additional members filed a second petition containing the five binding resolutions to be voted on at the Special Meeting. Both petitions independently exceed the 50-member threshold. Read Filed Petition →
Formal notice of the Special Meeting emailed to all members, satisfying the 10-day requirement of Bylaws §7.2 and electronic notice provision of §7.3. Website launched at pssialliance.us.

Seven plaintiffs — Barclay Moore, Bryan Martel, Alycia Glines, David Achey, Greg Felsch, Blaine Lomen, and Jeff Connors — individually and derivatively on behalf of PSIA-AASI Western Region, filed a Verified Complaint in the Superior Court of California, County of Sacramento against PSIA-AASI Western Region, CEO Marisa Cooper, and Board members Sowmya Subramanian, Neil Bussiere, Caleb Lee, Megan Ochs, Henry Ryerson, and Richard Sheldon.

The Board’s non-voting “informational meeting.” A forum where members cannot vote does not satisfy the legal requirements of Cal. Corp. Code §7511.
Held with quorum. 178 verified members present (quorum: 100). 218 voter credentials issued; 153 ballots cast. All 5 resolutions passed (85–99% approval); 5 directors removed.
The Board plans to seat directors — including the replacement directors who finished 6th and 7th — at its scheduled meeting in Mammoth Mountain. This is the hard deadline for action on the meeting resolutions.
Two formal petitions from 180+ unique voting members. Both independently exceed the 50-member threshold required by Bylaws §7.2.
Demanded that the Board convene a Special Meeting with binding votes on the election irregularities. The Board declared it “invalid” on April 10.
Contains the five specific resolutions: stay suspensions, appoint independent reviewer, moratorium on seating replacements, censure vote, and director removal.

Note: Earlier versions of this site cited California Corporations Code §5511, §5222, and §5231 (which apply to nonprofit public benefit corporations). PSIA-AASI Western Region is a nonprofit mutual benefit corporation, so the correct citations are §7511, §7222, and §7231. The substance of the law — member rights, due process protections, and fiduciary duties — is identical between the two sets of provisions. Thanks to the member who flagged this.

This site and meeting notice are issued by the petitioning voting members of PSIA-AASI Western Region — not by the Board of Directors. We are exercising the right granted by California Corporations Code §7511(c): the First Petition was delivered on March 31, 2026; the Board did not issue notice of a compliant special meeting within the time required by law; the petitioners’ right to call the meeting was therefore triggered.
