Tweeting the Urban Enterprise beheading, as it happened.

Following are my tweets during yesterday's Urban Enterprise Association board meeting. They're in reverse chronological order. The statement I mailed to board members on Thursday is here, and the statement I read to them on Friday is here.

Meeting ends #nauea

It has been instructive to watch long serving #nauea board members revise history #insurancesales

Duggins now outlines the post-Ladd era. Firing not premeditated, although plan essentially already written. #nauea

Norrington, Dillman, Norwood, Duggins and Howie vote yes. Streckfus, Bergman and Schmitt abstain. Coffey left mtg. Mike Ladd fired #nauea

Flabby is as second-guessing survivors think flabbily #insurancesales #nauea

Flabby is as flabby thinks. #insurancesales #nauea

I should say that this board will be just fine. I disagreed with Mike on that point. This is ugly, but later, they'll be good #nauea

As board members attempt to be humane, Duggins puts the hammer down: Ladd's numerous deficiencies. #nauea

Always amusing when the guy in charge doesn't know by-laws or the director's contract. Attend meetings, and you know these #nauea

No #nauea vote yet on Ladd. Forgone conclusion.

I need to note: During my tenure at the UEA, now-prez Bob Norwood seldom attended meetings. #justsaying #nauea

Spoiler Alert: Mike Ladd has been terminated as director of #nauea

Motion to terminate made. Some discussion. Howie quite eloquent, and balanced #nauea

Duggins vs Ladd. Not responsive, his benefits and pay. Mostly, it is Mike's fault that the UEA gets strong-armed for "bull crap." #nauea

The Duggins case against Ladd is being made. All about expenditures versus proceeds; small UEA, large expenses #nauea

Approved the two previous bequests, now Mike Ladd is to be decapitated. #nauea

Bergman comes through; speaking time might be granted after all. #hotdog #nauea

This whole affair has been pre-staged; I likely will have no chance to make a public comment until after the vote. #unfairness #nauea

New appointee Streckfus incisive about documentation and the need for better strategizing in shared ventures #nauea

Norwood wants it known that #nauea never sought to see marketing campaign invoices. Howie vouches for it. Much regret all around #fix

Norwood wants a vote on both "outstanding" debts as one #fix #nauea

No one wants to be Sec/Treas (imagine that), so it's Duggins! #nauea

Howie is VP #nauea

In a room of neophytes, Duggins is doing all the nominating. Bergman is selected, then declines. Norwood the wild card here #fix #nauea

Coffey walks out on #nauea, cites presence of "bull crap"

Duggins breaks the silence and nominates Bob Norwood for president, no other nominees. The fix has begun #nauea

Allen Howie is here. That makes all nine members present #nauea

Dan Coffey taking the floor, and it is a thing to behold. DC and Duggins going Mano y Mano #nauea

Not a good sign when two returning board members are already in the conference room before the door is officially opened #ouch #nauea

Because that way, they'll all be compelled to listen to the other side of the story. History does matter, folks. #nauea

Let's just hope there is a physical quorum present, and that the new board is not asked to conduct business by proxy vote #nauea

NA city council still has one appointment to UEA (if there is one) remaining. I can tell you who it will NOT be, LOL #nauea

CM Coffey took some swipes at me, but agreed with what I said. That was fine. Ann Streckfus was appointed by Benedetti. #nauea

Interestingly, last night when I told the council what was up with the UEA, Mrs. Benedetti expressed total surprise. #nauea
