OPERATION: REBOOT, Getting House in Order

OPERATION REBOOT

Operation Reboot is a process used by the office of Mary Glass, Chair/CEO, Milwaukee Professionals Association, to provide strategic planning, channel development and due process.  It requires a close look at strengths, opportunities, weaknesses and threats for paradigm building.

It is geared to "put-things/group/committee/house/organization in order.

Operation:    Reboot – Accountability Matters is an outgrowth of the recent attempted Sabotage of the Milwaukee NAACP Branch 2010 Election Process, September 18, 2010, subsequent missteps by the local branch and the National office; and, the NEW Tea Party Report.

Purpose

To provide leadership in “getting house in order” for value-added quality of life and economic development issues facing Milwaukeeans, especially African Americans and other People of Color.

It includes addressing:

·         September 18, 2010 aborted meeting by President Jerry Ann Hamilton, Attorney Henry Hampton and supporters.

·         September 18, 2010 Interruption of Membership Meeting for personal and wrongful act to include the Executive Committee

·         September 18, 2010 Protest-Walkout of 4 Executive Committee Members from Impromptu Called Executive Committee Meeting.

·         September 18, 2010 Grab/Snatch of “Sign-In Sheet” by Mrs. Elonza Stanley from Executive Committee member Vel Phillips and sign-in sheet given to Attorney Henry Hamilton to disallow members Attorney Vel Phillips, Bettye Loving, Rita Johnson and Gloria Watkin to take their names off the list.

·         September 18, 2010 Creating a potential danger with a law enforcement officer, Captain Gregory Moore of the Milwaukee Police Department was “left-in-control” while President Hamilton went upstairs for the Impromptu Executive Committee meeting.  

Captain Moore is not one of the 8 officers or 24-seat Executive Committee.  There were officers, executive committee members, ex-officers/ex-committee members and life-time members that would have been in-line with protocol.

Luckily, the confrontation that developed between Captain Moore and Attorney Tearman Spencer did not elevate to a well-known disaster.

·         September 18, 2010 Creating a Conflict of Interest with a public servant – with law enforcement office, Captain Gregory Moore of the Milwaukee Police Department was “left-in-control” while President Hamilton went upstairs for the Impromptu Executive Committee meeting.

·         September 18, 2010 misfeasance act, Vote-by-10 Executive Committee members, to:

o   Endorse 1^st Vice President Wendell Harris for 2010 President

·         September 18, 2010 misfeasance act, Vote-by-10 Executive Committee members, to:

·         September 24, 2010 Freedom Fund Dinner Announcement and Endorsement of Wendell Harris, 1^st Vice President

·         September 18, 2010 verbal attack and lack of civility of member Rosa Caradine Lewis, Acting Parliamentarian,  – Her personal, in-the-mike, threat to pick Attorney Vel Phillips up and take her to her seat if she came up to the podium again.

·         September 18, 2010 erratic behavior of President Jerry Ann Hamilton and her son – Attorney Henry Hamilton.

·         September 18, 2010 erratic behavior of 1^st Vice President Wendell Harris, withdrawal of Candidacy for President.

·         September 18, 2010 Bizarre and erratic behavior of turning off lights while meeting was in session, pre-mature and improper attempt to adjourn  Membership Meeting.

·         September 18, 2010 Bizarre and unwarranted call to Milwaukee Police Department to “evict” members in a Membership meeting to avoid the election of the 2010 Nominating Committee.

·         President Jerry Ann Hamilton’s subsequent BOGUS, unwarranted, not asked for by Membership and not authorized by Membership - Call for Takeover by National.

Seen as another attempt by President Hamilton to usurp the Constitution and Bylaws by calling for National to be complicit in her wrongdoing, especially since this has happen before with a “bullying, name calling and intimidation” by members representing National.
