On learning that the Wilshire Montana Neighborhood Coalition (WILMONT) past Board of Directors was ending the Wilmont memberships of the newly elected Board, the new Board issued the following statement.

In a press release issued today (July 27), Becki Kammerling, the purported attorney for the past Wilmont Board of Directors has reportedly reiterated their position that the election on June 9 was invalid, and that the Wilmont membership of all newly elected board members is being terminated effective today.

The old board is obviously not interested in letting the Wilmont members decide the organization’s direction.

Of course, we will not accept this at all.

In response, Marc Williams the attorney representing the newly elected board members stated: “We completely disagree with the old board. We believe they are engaging in self-preservation tactics, and not acting in the best interests of the Wilmont members. It is in everyone’s interest to resolve this dispute promptly, and we offered to let the members decide what should happen. The old board has rejected our offer, and we are currently evaluating our options.”
