Similarly the following remark was made by Patricio at the all staff meeting in November:
*"I want all of you know that the Board unanimously agreed to support our current leadership."*
I would ask for the sake of the staff and community that a speedy and clear explanation of whatever vote occurred be made.

Regarding to Oliver's comment: "My concern is that when staff reached out the Board replied with a letter indicating they had full and unanimous confidence in our leadership."
This statement is not really true. We had a formal vote regarding the ED
in
November and it was not unanimous. The vote unfortunately has not yet
been
made public.
Very well, let me quote directly from the email sent to staff by Patricio Lorente in his role as Chair of the Board:
"We are working with Lila to put together a plan to address these issues. We are confident that she has the capability and the commitment needed for this challenging time, and we know that, at the present time, she is listening carefully to the Board, to you, and to the community. **To that end, the Board remains unanimously committed in our support of Lila in her role** and in her efforts to adapt her leadership and to address these issues."
Asterisks mine. If your commitment and straw poll wasn't unanimous your chair lied to staff, and that's not a great opening to our rebuilding.
