FORMAL NOTICE • SPECIAL MEETING IN 10 DAYS
|
Your Votes Didn’t Count. Now We, The Members, Are Demanding Answers.
|
|
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 refused. So we’re calling it ourselves, as California law allows.

What Happened
March 13 — 524 members vote. ElectionBuddy certifies the winners. Four seats, four winners.
March 20 — One day before results go public, the Board suspends the top two winners plus three other members. No prior notice. No hearing.
March 21 — The organization publishes altered results — 6th and 7th place finishers declared “winners.”
March 26 — Board cancels the only forum where members could ask questions.
March 31 — 154 members file a formal petition for a Special Meeting.
April 10 — Board declares the petition “invalid” and offers a non-binding forum instead.
April 12 — 80 more members file a second petition. Both exceed the bylaws threshold. The Board still won’t act. California law now gives us the right to call this meeting ourselves.

|
This notice is being sent at least ten (10) days before the meeting date, as required by Bylaws §7.2.
|
What You’ll Vote On
Five binding resolutions. Here’s the summary — read the full agenda.
| 1 |
Pause suspensions, seat the elected winners while an independent review determines if the suspensions were proper.
|
| 2 |
Appoint an independent reviewer — not chosen by the CEO, not employed by PSIA — to examine both sides. Findings published to every member.
|
| 3 |
Hold replacement directors — don’t seat the 6th & 7th place finishers until the review is complete and members have the facts.
|
| 4 |
Censure the Board; no confidence in the CEO for the suspensions, the refusal to meet, and declaring the petition “invalid.”
|
| 5 |
Director-by-director removal vote on the five non-suspended directors, per Bylaws §7.5 and Cal. Corp. Code §5222. Naming each director is a legal requirement — not an accusation. Each will have the opportunity to account for their actions.
|
No other business may be transacted at this meeting.
|
Have Questions? Ask Them.
This is your meeting. Ask questions to leadership, to the suspended members, or about the process. Name and email are optional. All questions will be delivered to the Board before their April 21 forum and answers presented at the April 23 Special Meeting.

|
|
We need 100 members for this meeting to count.
If you can’t attend, ask a fellow member to be there.

This Notice Is Not From the Board
This notice is issued by the undersigned voting members of PSIA-AASI Western Region — not by the Board of Directors. We are exercising the right granted by California Corporations Code §5511(c): when members properly request a special meeting and the Board does not issue notice within the time required by law, the petitioning members may give notice themselves.
Two formal petitions from 180+ unique voting members in good standing requested this meeting. Both independently exceeded the 50-member threshold in Bylaws §7.2. The Board declared the first petition “invalid” and has not convened the requested meeting.
