To the Members of the Essa Minor Hockey Association Board,

I, *, hereby submit this motion to address the concerning conduct and actions of Vice President Baird within the Essa Minor Hockey Association ("EMHA"). It is with regret that I bring forth this motion, but I believe it is necessary for the integrity and well-being of our organization.

Whereas:

1 Vice President Baird's conduct has been consistently contrary to the values and objectives of the EMHA, including breaches of the EMHA's Code of Conduct and failure to uphold the responsibilities associated with his position.

2 Several documented incidents have highlighted Vice President Baird's inability to fulfill his duties effectively and ethically, leading to disruptions in the smooth functioning of the association and discord among members.

3 Numerous complaints and concerns have been raised by EMHA members regarding Vice President Baird's behaviour, indicating a lack of confidence in his leadership and suitability for the role of Vice President.

4 Despite attempts to address these issues internally, Vice President Baird has failed to demonstrate meaningful improvement or accountability for his actions, necessitating more decisive action to safeguard the interests of the EMHA and its members.

5 We have lost executive members due to Vice President Baird's behaviour, many of whom openly confirmed that he was the reason they were vacating their positions, further indicating the detrimental impact of his actions on the association's leadership team and overall functionality.

Therefore, be it resolved:

1 That Vice President Baird be immediately removed from his position as Vice President of the Essa Minor Hockey Association, effective immediately upon the passing of this motion.

2 That a special committee be established to oversee the transition process and ensure continuity in the functioning of the association's leadership structure following Vice President Baird's removal.

3 That all necessary steps be taken to communicate this decision to Vice President Baird and the EMHA membership in a transparent and respectful manner, emphasizing the association's commitment to upholding its values and standards of conduct.

I urge all members of the Essa Minor Hockey Association to carefully consider the implications of Vice President Baird's continued presence in his current role and to support this motion in the best interests of the EMHA and its members.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
