National President
To Those Who May Deem It Necessary:
The purpose of this message is to discuss the future leadership of the fraternity and examine possible situations surrounding our upcoming National Convention. Specifically, the focus of this communiqué centers on the election process for our nationally elected leaders.
The election of new leadership should be a positive process for our organization. However, as you know, some members will not allow this peaceful process to occur. Likewise, as you know, further contentiousness and confrontation will serve no purpose but to seriously derail the progress of the organization. It is for this reason that all attempts must be exhausted, prior to convention, to reach a just and peaceful agreement. This will be the final attempt at such a process.
In order to avoid unwanted contentiousness and confrontation, we are requesting that you withdraw your name from consideration for the office of National President. We are further requesting that this officially be done by Monday, June 23rd 2003, noon EST, in writing to the National Grand Council. If this is done, it will enable the Convention focus to remain on positive programming and a peaceful celebration of our renewed sprit. This focus is something that all of our brothers want, and more importantly, deserve.
At this time, numerous attempts have been made to ensure a peaceful Convention, one with little controversy and contention. Be there no mistake, this will be the last and final attempt to communicate our desire for you to withdraw from consideration. If this final attempt is ignored, following June 23rd noon EST, steps to ensure a successful transition of fraternal leadership will ensue under a timetable of our choosing.
