A CF Board Member(s) does the talking on an operational / technical matter, while the CEO and Staff wait and wonder!

It seems that one of the underlying concerns for Clubs, which has in significant part inspired the need for next Tuesdays meeting between Clubs, Zone Members and the CF Board, is that a Board member has taken to communicating directly with a coach on a matter, not yet made public and one that should have been undertaken by the CEO or staff.

The matter leaked / discussed is said to be with ACTAS concerning a playing condition. ACTAS emailed their constituency with the information. The Board member got it wrong and ACTAS fired out another email. Whatever inspired the Board member to be involved in something that was clearly and most properly the province of the CEO and staff?

Leave aside the further concern that the Board did a backflip without warning nor consultation with Clubs, on a related ACTAS matter (among other things) following an undertaking given late last year, and you have an explosive mixture.

Why would a Board member seemingly breach Board confidentiality, if that is what has occurred?

Why would any Board member undertake to play the role of CF CEO, Technical Director or any other staff member for that matter?

Someone seems to have crossed the line between Governanace and operational / technical management. Is it the first time? Have other Board members done the same thing in recent times? It's a question that comes to mind following this ham fisted example of inappropriate conduct.

Why didn"t the President of the Board require the Board memebr concernd to submit his resignation - immediately?

This can't go on! It totally compromises the position of the CF CEO and principal staff. Perhaps that was the intention. If so, it must be stopped.

While the Board members (some of them)play with the toys, who is planning and preparing for the future? We need three parts of CF working - Board, Staff and Clubs.

Put a stop to it Mr President. Get your Board in line, on task on on message. Move them on if they don't comply.
