Fellow DPPA Members,

In accordance with the DPPA Board election last November, the new Board took office on January 1, 2012.  The new Board’s first objective was to determine the appropriate actions to be taken with respect to DPPA’s future.  Since the election where 028 chose to become solely represented by UPEC, the status and function of DPPA has been in question.  No longer recognized by the County and no longer collecting dues, a slow withering away is inevitable.  At some point DPPA will need to be dissolved and the Board has chosen to pursue that option sooner rather than later. 

The Board adopted a plan that begins with consulting an attorney regarding the legal and ethical obligations the Board has in dissolving DPPA and distributing the funds in the DPPA treasury.  DPPA was incorporated in the eighties; that incorporated status creates certain legal responsibilities and recordkeeping requirements that only an attorney can effectively sort through.

Once we have the information we need from the attorney, we will ask the DPPA members at large for their feedback on how to dissolve DPPA and what to do with the money remaining in the DPPA treasury as part of the dissolution.  The DPPA Board will solicit member input for these critical decisions and will try to keep the members informed on progress as much as is practicable.

Sincerely,
Steve Souza
DPPA Board President
