MORE BREAKING NEWS! The Directorate RESPONDS!

Maybe it’s just Mo’Kelly…and Mo’Kelly readily admits he’s not an AKA, but why is this letter not “signed” by anyone? Why is Barbara McKinzie not “CC’d” at the bottom? Have you ever seen a letter from all of Congress being signed…
“Congress”…
Usually all of the names are listed individually and signed accordingly. Are we to believe that all of the directorate, even though not named or acknowledged individually are in lock-step with the contents of the above letter?
Really? Really Barbara?!
Are we to believe that any “official” letter from “Congress” wouldn’t also CC the president? That is assuming that the president wasn’t the sole writer of the letter. I mean, why CC yourself or provide actual names and signatures…that would be a tremendous waste of time when you’re conducting a propaganda campaign.
Notice, the letter from the Virginia chapters listed specifically WHO supported the effort and had SIGNATURES of its basilei. But I guess if you’re “in a rush” and want to give the “appearance” of solidarity (as opposed to the ugly reality) then signing a letter “The Directorate” seems like good sense.
There’s a reason important documents like the Declaration of Independence had EVERYONE’S name and signature.

Barbara McKinzie step down now.

I knew you would have the latest info posted Mo! Thanks for staying on top of this.
It seems that BAM and company has caused the insurance company to question liability -- sounds like the WI8 are getting the job done. It would be foolish now for BAM to continue to pursue this -- best course of action would be to step down. What type of legal representation does BAM have, their legal advice sucks. At the very least, BAM has her $1mio retirement and stipend fund to aid in her legal defense.
For Edda R.: The insurance company is suing the Sorority for FRAUD; that is, they have lied about everything and the insurance folks do not want to pay for lies. I think you can call this "throwing the Directorate under the bus". Is there a God or what?
The insurance company is letting everyone know that BAM is a thief and the Directorate was complict in allowing her to steal from Alpha Kappa Alpha. BAM, it's time for you to resign but knowing that you are a sociopath, you won't do the right thing!
Diamond…correctamundo. They do NOT want to foot the bill for when AKA has to pay the piper. I suspect the company let AKA know UP FRONT, they weren't covering the costs if AKA was found liable. AKA started tripping and the insurance company is in the midst of a preemptive strike.
Mo it is too late for any of them to step down now. They need some pick axes and rocks so they can start earning back some of this money. I am so MAD!! I want all their ASS(ets) turned over to help with this. As my aunt used to say “I’m so mad I could spit nails!!
The legal fees are just piling and piling up. Let's be clear. There are THREE lawsuits staring AKA in the face right now. WI8, Kenitra Shackelford and now RSUI.
The sorority (saying nothing of the continued improper payments to Barbara) is hemorrhaging money.
And the REASON for this litigation? Inquiring minds are quite anxious to know!
Internet LIES -- all of this is just a pack of INTERNET LIES. Can't believe everything you read on the Internet?
Sure!
I think at this point we can hear the faint sound of "Taps" being played on the corrupt behavior. There is a lesson in all of this, while we strive to work together, we need to continue to do that, but we must also be diligent regarding the rules of business with one another. There can be no insult in the idea that we show extreme trust, but insist it be placed in writing. Lets not forget to check on the each other as we move forward either.
Mo: I think you can use the clip from the Wizard of OZ when Toto pulls the curtain on the so called wizard, he keeps trying to play his bells and whistles to convince Dororthy that she is not seeing what she sees; so it is with that stupid letter from the Directorate I got last night
Oh what a tangled web we weave…….when at first, we practice to deceive……
I thought the same thing! Who is "The Directorate"??? I saw that email this morning and was disgusted. I think BAM is trying to cover her attempts at trying to get sorors to her side and doesn't want to write another letter/email since people have said they are sick of them. (I.e., the Past Supreme's open letter). This is getting ridiculous. I need to go back over my copy of the by-laws, but can we impeach BAM? This is beyond embarassing!!
This is why calls for secrecy, "in house" policing, self-regulation and so on is only opiated drivel to subdue the masses.
Once one obtains power, it is NEVER freely relinquished. Think of the adjective most utilized in the description of the tranference of that power: wrested! Power must forcibly be taken from the hands of those that possess it, for they covet it far too much to relinquish it (even above the moral imperative of doing that which is right). Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely!
Secret dealings in secret societies with secret practices that insist that you maintain secrecy about then and command you to follow, without question, the dictates of a Supreme-ly secret person is the unfettered breeding ground of corruption.
When the light comes on, the roaches scatter!
I'm with Ragin Cajun.
Wait!!I'm still trying to get my head together for "spur of the moment travel expenses" Liquor!!! Underwear!!! Question..Where are you going? AND What will you be doing when you get there? Don't answer. Just let the visual be your Halloween nightmare.
Especially when the "visual" comes complete with size 15 panties. Didn't know they came that large.
Seriously, your constitution probably does have provisions for removal from office but perhaps only the Directorate can do so, and the number of votes necessary would be impossible to obtain?
Remember, they tried that once when she was Anti, and was one vote short with the result that she took them to court.
As I recall, the decision was that it would be best for all concerned to let "sleeping dogs lay". And this was in conjunction with the procurement problem where the vendor could show the canceled checks……………..
Ok… I'm annoyed at the letter from my "esteemed" Supreme Basilieus… Can someone please tell me how the following purchases which I saw with my own eyes on actual AMEX receipts constitute business for AKA…

SO BASICALLY BARBARA A MCKINZIE… PLEASE STOP BEING A LIAR AND USING AKA MONEY FOR PERSONAL GAIN. AMEX IS NOT LYING ON YOU. THIEF WE SAW IT WITH OUR OWN EYES… SO STEP DOWN BEFORE THE WHOLE SORORITY GOES UP IN A BLAZE OF SMOKE.
The only reason why she even wrote the letter is because she's running scared… so pathetic and so UN-Alpha Kappa Alpha like. I mean jesus christ we are supposed to be women of substance… Soror Ethel is doing back flips in her grave…
FedupAKAfromPhilly, you forgot the train rides and expenses for Ms.ESO.
Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we conspire to deceive!!!!
@Wait until you see all the cheating…. That's because Betty James was a coward then and is a coward now. She is terrified of BAM and will be in blackface and a hoody committing a murder if BAM told her to do so. Don't expect any cooperation from her willingly she must be deposed and we should not deal with her with kid gloves because of her age or how long she has been an AKA. A true AKA would not have let someone come in destroy the very fabric it is built upon. Betty James (clown face) is just as guilty and is a huge liar as well.
Under McKinzie's leadership, the sorority is thriving financially (in fact, it's in a better financial position than ever before). She is a "money" person--always has been, ran on a "financial management" platform--and as such has raised more money than ever in the history of the sorority. Her "stipends," however large they are, have not impacted the sorority negatively and they were approved according to AKA regulations. While it's hard for me to wrap my head around paying a Sorority President like a CEO, because of her, AKA is not only in an enviable financial position, but over the past few years the sorority has been able to give out more money to more causes and help more people in a real way--and still have money in its coffers. (BTW, AKA is also doing more on a national stage, with the NGO status, etc., than ever before.) The question is, how much of an interest should a sorority take in monetary issues? Should we have full coffers as a non-profit sisterhood? Although she didn't violate any of the sorority's policies, is it ethical for a sorority to "pay" its leaders (and so extravagantly) and run like a business? The thing is, she has fattened the sorority's pockets AND her own and hasn't actually broken one sorority rule in the process. It's just time, I guess, that the Sorority takes a long, hard look at its direction. Is it having "growing pains?" in this time when many black instituions are having financial management issues that have led to bankruptcy and dissolution, AKA is thriving. Maybe it's more important than we'd like to admit that our leaders are not only upstanding members of our communities but financially savvy enough to make monetary decisions that will lead to(1)being able to help more black people and (2)the continuation of our organizations? Is that too cut throat? Maybe the sorority needs two leadership positions, one as CFO (to manage the money) and the other as president (to manage the politics of the sisterhood? Since, as we can see from this situation, great money managers are not always great politicians.)Or, do we want to keep doing business as usual and, like crabs-in-a-barrel, tear down those leaders who show some forward thinking to insure the continuity of our organizations, even if they are paying themselves (legally) to do so? And really, can we expect to place a person in office who is a savvy financial manager and not have her arrange some type of monetary compensation when she raises an unprecedented amount of money for the Sorority?? I think it's time for us to re-think what we consider ethical and "right." We want our black institutions to continue and to continue to support black people. AKA is doing that, handsomely, and living according to her own policies and regs--that's ethical and right. The sorority can amend her regs through proper channels if the body is unhappy with them--and it will, if necessary.
The worst part is, we will tear ourselves down with these lawsuits. All of the Sorority's financial gains will be gone and we will be left worse than before because a few people couldn't help but to act like crabs in a barrel.
@Choo Choo -- You are giving BAMs to much credit for AKA SC NGO status. All BAM did was follow the efforts of another D9 sorority and other Black service organizations that have already have SC status with the UN. Also, what are you basing your claim on that BAM raised a lot of money for AKA? If an independent audit is not performed, then how can you be sure what is the actual amount of money BAM actually generated for AKA. I am sure that the increase in AKA financial position has more to do with AKA Centennial than BAMs financial decisions. BAM has been in a financial leadership position in AKA for years, yet she has not raised this kind of money. BAM is just getting credit (increase in AKA revenues, increase in membership, etc.) because she happens to be President when AKAs Centennial occurred any other AKA President would have achieved the same results if not better because AKA image would not have been destroyed. Linda White term as President of AKA was more honorable then BAMS.
@ I Love to Shop. Accomplishments don't have to be original to be celebrated. Either way, the work was done, NGO status was achieved by AKA (yea!). You are right. An independent audit will certainly shed light on how much money McKinzie has raised. I may be wrong about the extent of her financial prowess (lol).
All-in-all, though, I think AKA is going through growing pains and she, like many other historically black institutions, is being forced to evaulate the direction in which she will move in the future. No matter whether we see McKinzie's actions as ethical or unethical, the plaintiffs will lose in the end because McKinzie didn't violate any rules; the plaintiffs know this so I do wonder what they hope to gain by forcing the Sorority to pay out money to defend its leaders.
AKA made a really bad move by having a knee jerk reaction to pledging that negatively changed her course in 1990. Fear, hate, resentment, and anger cannot be the drivers again. Whether or not the membership wants to change the rules in the future, establish certain business protocols that insure our perpetuity…this suit has raised questions that AKA needs to deal with-which is a good thing. The Sorority will be stronger in the long-run.
Hey Choo Choo: If Ms. McKinzie is so proud of what she has accomplished, why would she also not be proud to come before her "loyal subjects" and get their buy into her "deserved remuneration"? If she is such a "money magnet", why is she holding on to the 2008 990 for dear life because she knows she has gone over the top with the rewards she has given herself? You have got to be kidding if you really believe she is not guilty of embezzlement. You are also a little shaky in the brain department if you think the IRS is not going to be a little concerned about a 501(c)(7) organization rewarding their President the kind of compensation that Barbara and the Directorate have laid out thus far. Lastly, this matter didn't have to even get to this point if Ms. McKenzie and the current sitting Directorate had responded forthrightly to the interrogatories requested by the Plaintiff's attorneys. Ms. McKinzie has violated every rule in the book and you know it. Sit tight and watch that "train wreck" called Barbara McKinzie run off the tracks.
@notyouraverageaka--We all have the same information and we're all making assumptions based on the information we have. I choose to make assumptions that are different than yours. Although I concede that I can be a little "shaky in the brain," (lol) there's no need for the vitriolic tone.
Choo Choo, You must be BAMBot to have expressed such drivel. Read and comprehend the documents which clearly detail BAM's theft from the organization. Your comments are obtuse.
Thank you for your insight diamond1908. I am impressed that BAM does have some supporters who are intelligent and can express a logical argument (Choo Choo);however, in what company does the CEO write herself checks that she also signs? I think a first year bookkeeping student would agree that is not a lawful practice. BAM has had numerous opportunities to set the record straight and prove her innocence. She has not done so because she knows that what she has done to date and continues to do is not lawful. The rest of the world does not give two hoots about whether she has violated the organization's bylaws, etc., we have long moved out of that area. What she has done is broken the laws that govern all of us and she will have to answer for that in court. Her terroristic tactics have opened her up to other charges that are precedent setting even for her. When you get a chance, look up the definition for RACKETEERING. The proof submitted thus far by the Plaintiffs has not been refuted by BAM or the Directorate in anything they have submitted to the membership thus far. Fortunately, more and more of the members are beginning to see that.
Ms.Choo Choo If everything is on the up and up why have we not been getting regular DETAILED accounts? Why has there been so much secrecy? Why haven't we greatly expanded our community service outreach(you know service to all mankind). If the national president's record is so stellar why hasn't she offered DOCUMENTATION months ago to set the record straight? Why do you have Regional Directors who can't explain some of the checks?( look at statements by Sample Oates). You may choose to look at the national president as some magnificent financial wizard but most of us are waiting for DOCUMENTATION!! A true financial wizard who has personal integrity does not use intimidation to shut down honest questions. Only wizards like the one who lived in Oz rely on tricks and fear.
Von08, don't forget that ESJ has been a willing conspirator with ESO (her roommate on the Directorate) for BAM. Both RDs are determined to go down the ship (like the good rats they are).
Money doesn’t buy class. Or sisterhood. Or integrity. My point is that the “enviable” financial position of AKA is irrelevant (and unproven, thanks to the lack of transparency).
There’s no logic to be had in Choo Choo’s argument. To say that BAM broke no rules is to overlook the fact that she knew the rules well enough to know exactly how to circumvent them!!! She doesn’t deserve the compensation of a CEO because hers is a VOLUNTEER position! Not only is that unethical, it is a violation of the tax status that AKA carries! Please save all the pseudo-intellectual diatribes for someone who cannot read and comprehend legal documents! Everyone has the same information, and guess what? There is no NEED to assume – facts are facts! The WI8 see it, members who are tired of the muck and mire that their organization is being dragged through, and now the insurance company sees it too!
@notyouraverageaka -- I totally agree with you. The sorority is tax exempt under 501(c)(7) and BAM has violated the requirements for tax exemption with excessive compensation and transactions structured to benefit insiders(BAM). Not only is she exploiting a NON-PROFIT entity, she is jeopardizing the tax exempt status of the sorority.
See http://www.irs.gov/charities/nonprofits/article/0…
@choo choo, AKA being a 501(c)(7), means that it is based off of membership. With that being said all money paid to BAM needs to come and be voted on by the membership. Also, as a member I do not care how much money BAM saved or moved around (shall I say) she does not deserve to make more then the President of the United States. Also, if BAM save the sorority so much money should she be giving stipends to (chapters/sorors for community service of course..lolol) instead of charging Sorors assessment.(stipends= surplus; assessment=deficiet) I know if you want to base it on corporations, any time a a savings is made it goes back the the shareholders.So, do you think Ms. Big time Executive as you state, will give me my ASSESSMENT of 500.00 back?
" The rest of the world does not give two hoots about whether she has violated the organization’s bylaws, etc., we have long moved out of that area. What she has done is broken the laws that govern all of us and she will have to answer for that in court."
And there you have it…all of the other 'no rules were broken' talk is moot. BTW, if the claims were without merit, do you think a judge would allow the suit to move forward just for entertainment purposes?
Choo Choo are you the lawyer that became BAM's fiend after you got angry with Soror Linda White? Sorry Choo Choo she isn't being honest with you. There are more evidents. Everything will not be on the internet. Stop fooling yourself. Choo Choo BAM has robbed Alpha Kappa Alpha. Yes, they approved some of the money and some they didn't. Yes they approved some of the business deals and some they didn't.
Choo Choo please donate to the FOTWI today. It is costing a mint to right wrong.sorry you are misled.
@everyonewhoreplied. You make good points that I cannot argue with because I don't know the case from the inside-out--as some of you seem to; I didn't realize that I would be communicating with the "insiders" who seem to frequent this site. As many of you say, justice will prevail. What I can say is that Soror "Love" truly lives up to her name. If we can, during this crisis, manage to treat each other with respect (I'm not talking about the directorate and the plaintiffs' attitudes toward each other but the general body), we will make it through this crisis stronger and better. Thank you, "Love," for showing 'love' even in disagreement.
