As many members of STARFLEET, The International Star Trek Fan Association have already heard, the current President of STARFLEET, Robin Woodell-Vitasek, has terminated Robert Westfall from his role as Chief of Operations.

The reason for this termination/removal was because Mr. Westfall voted in opposition to a first class award nomination for a member of STARFLEET which was unrelated to a STARFLEET event/activity.

The reason for Mr. Westfall's termination/removal from position demonstrates gross incompetence on the part of Ms. Woodell-Vitasek, and the method that she terminated/removed Mr. Westfall from his role was deplorable and executed in an entirely disrespectful and inane manner.

The requested transfer of Membership Processing materials, the second time this would take place this year, represents an unnecessary and excessive expense to the organization, and demonstrates an unwise act for the organization to undertake, especially given the recent issues and concerns with delays in processing membership packets that have been encountered as a result of other recent changes.

The situation created by Ms. Woodell-Vitasek has caused damage to STARFLEET's reputation, both as viewed by members of the organization, as well as our peers in various fandom communities.

We, the undersigned members of STARFLEET, feel that it is time now to request the removal of Robin Woodell-Vitasek as the President of STARFLEET on the grounds of gross incompetence, unnecessary (and unwise) use of financial resources, and due to damage to STARFLEET's name and reputation.
