PETITION TO REMOVE MARK HALBERT FROM THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF NORTH MISSISSIPPI SOCCER ACADEMY

TO: Board of Directors of North Mississippi Soccer Academy

The following members of North Mississippi Soccer Academy (“NMSA” or “Club”) demand the removal of Mark Halbert from the Board of Directors. Mark Halbert, having no experience running a soccer club, has made unilateral decisions concerning the welfare of the Club, all of which affect players, coaches, staff, and parents. We, as paying members of the Club, find this type of management unacceptable. Further, if Mark Halbert remains on the board, the club stands to lose additional staff including the club administrator. This is wholly unacceptable and may have a potentially devastating effect on our kids and the future of their soccer training and playing opportunities.

As members of the club, we want transparency. We want a Board of Directors that makes decisions collectively regarding our kids and the future of North Mississippi soccer. And mostly, we want a Board of Directors that will ensure that NMSA becomes the club first envisioned, the club that we agreed to join. The removal of Mark Halbert is, therefore, a first and necessary step in the process of putting a Board of Directors in place that will consider, in every decision it makes, the impact of its decisions on our children. The following members, each of whom currently pays dues to NMSA, demand the removal of Mark Halbert from the Board of Directors of NMSA:
