Yes, the National IWLA has been involved trying to stop this crap! This 'reason' given by our board for the property transfer was to protect the property from seizure by the National IWLA. This turned out to be bogus and I suspect the board was trying to steal the property for their new organization they set-up, 'The Virginia Sportsman's Association', (VSA), though there is no concrete proof of this. The lease had several clauses that would let the VSA seize the property by default, one was if the rent was late and another was for not being to be able to pay the taxes on the property.
Also, if everything was really for the good of the chapter, why refuse to release the attorney documents to the membership. The board keep the expenditure of these funds a secret from the membership for over a year until they were ready to have a vote on the transfer of the property! This is a violation of the by-laws of the chapter, Article IV 2.2 "The Board of Directors will not commit any funds that are not in the approved budget, without the membership's approval.". VOTE THE RASCALS OUT!!!
