Even in normal times, we would like to see that our donations are properly
and efficiently directed to projects that matter. Members and other donors
become reluctant when they see the organization:

* Spends money from its general fund on a legal pursuit against its own
members.
* Diverts a large earmarked donation from an individual to another purpose
than that specified by the donor.
* Makes significant financial decisions that do not appear in any board or
committee minutes.
* Declines calls to hold board meetings regularly, or when requested by
directors, which would make decisions visible to the membership.
* Spends 3/4 of membership dues on salary (from 2018 Form 990).
* Declines calls to make a full financial accounting to the membership.

    Thanks
