About the Governance of the Soaring Society of America
I was taking a look at the most recent meeting minutes and came across this paragraph.
"Director Maleady addressed, as Treasurer, that he has no idea how the Youth/Junior Committee is spending, how they’re raising money, and ended using a $5,000 donation from the museum in putting on a camp. We were not aware of it. Director Schrader offered that CEO Layton was aware of it. Director Maleady said they were aware after the fact and that the museum wanted to give the money to the club and not the SSA because they feared the SSA would misuse the money. The plan was that some of the money would be used to reimburse the pilots that flew with juniors. Director Maleady also mentioned that Director Whiteley approves expenditures. Director Whiteley interjected that he had nothing to do with the junior camps and contest financials. This discussion taken off line."
In the spirit of transparency, can you please explain the results of the discussion that was “taken off line”?*Can you please explain how the Youth/Junior Committee is spending money? Also, can you explain why the museum “feared that the SSA would misuse the money”?
