MWLL is pending board of directors re-elections. Please send any nominations in no later than 31 March 2026 to: mwlittleleague@hotmail.com and d19nyda@gmail.com

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE:

We, the undersigned Parents, Coaches, Volunteers, Family, and Regular Members of the Monroe Woodbury Little League (MWLL), hereby formally submit this Vote of No Confidence in the current Board of Directors and the election process currently overseen by NY District 19. Our goal is to restore transparency, accountability, and the effective leadership our children deserve.

CORE GRIEVANCES:

• Violation of Constitutional Notice: The mandatory 10-day written notice for the Annual Meeting on 23 MAR 2026 was ignored; notice was provided only 5 days prior, disenfranchising members on short notice. (Eastern Region Little League acknowledged this issue on 23 MAR 2026).
• Improper Voter Qualifications: Due to a reported loss of historical membership records, the use of incomplete 2025 background check data as the sole criteria for "Membership in Good Standing" unfairly disenfranchises active, long-term volunteers. We request a fair process to verify and restore the voting rights of all Regular Members from the 2025 season, as supported by the Eastern Region's commitment to ensuring all members are notified. (Eastern Region Little League acknowledged this issue on 23 MAR 2026).
• Operational Opacity: A lack of transparency regarding expenditures, reporting, and policy decisions, coupled with poor communication that has hindered team play and player experience.
• Retaliatory Governance: The recent resignation or removal of dedicated board members who were making positive contributions, creating instability, and eroding community trust.

FORMAL REQUESTS:

1. Immediate Stay of Election: Cease and desist any elections prior to a proper, Little League compliant nomination process and notice period.
2. Revision of Current Leadership: We move for a renewal of leadership via a fair and equitable membership vote.
3. Independent Audit & Membership Roll: Conduct an independent audit of the 2024-2025 rosters to ensure all "Regular Members" are granted their right to vote.
4. Emergency Election Reform: Conduct an emergency, accelerated nomination period and a virtual vote to ensure maximum participation.
5. Absentee Balloting: Provide a secure absentee ballot option for members unable to attend any in-person votes due to the lack of proper notice.
6. Reinstatement of Contributors: Reinstate recently removed/resigned board members who were contributing positively to league operations during this transition.

BY SIGNING BELOW, I CAST MY VOTE IN FAVOR OF THIS PETITION AND THE REQUESTS LISTED ABOVE.

NOTE: PLEASE DO NOT COMMENT OR IDENTIFY INDIVIDUALS WHITH WHOM YOU MAY HAVE ISSUE. (these will be deleted)
