Exposing the Incompetence of the Dorie Miller Board, Metro Management, and Counsel.
Introduction: A Leadership Crisis That Can No Longer Be Ignored: For years, the Dorie Miller Board of Directors, in collaboration with Metro Management and legal counsel, has demonstrated incompetence, lack of transparency, and ongoing by-law violations.
Instead of ensuring proper governance and shareholder rights, they have weakened accountability, suppressed shareholder involvement, and mismanaged critical responsibilities.
This document is not a call to action—it is an educational tool for shareholders to understand just how unqualified and incapable the Board, Metro Management, and legal counsel are in managing our cooperative effectively.
The goal is to present evidence that the leadership structure of Dorie Miller Housing is unqualified, untrustworthy, and operating without regard for shareholder rights or property management standards.
I. The 2024 Annual Meeting Delay: Exposing Their Inability to Follow Basic Rules The Board is required by our by-laws to hold the annual meeting on the last Monday of March each year. However, in 2024, the Board failed to schedule the meeting on time. Later, they justified the delay by citing the passing of the president. However, the president passed away earlier this year--months after the meeting was already overdue. If the by-laws required the meeting in March, why was it delayed months before the president’s passing?
This excuse is completely baseless and exposes the Board’s complete disregard for the rules they are supposed to follow.
What This Reveals About Board Incompetence: They cannot follow simple rules set in the by-laws.They fabricate excuses to justify their failure to perform their duties.They assume shareholders won’t notice or question these contradictions.
II. The Lowest Number of Elections in Modern Dorie Miller History: A Board That Avoids Accountability Since Metro Management took office in April 2020, Dorie Miller has had only three elections in five years—the lowest number in modern cooperative history.
2022 & 2024: No Elections Were Held.One-Third of the Board Was Secretly Appointed Without Shareholder Votes.New Board Members Were Not Announced, Introduced, or Presented to Shareholders.This means shareholders don’t even know who is representing them. This is not an accident—this is a deliberate strategy to avoid elections, stay in power, and keep control away from shareholders.
What This Reveals About Board Incompetence: They are incapable of holding elections properly.They have no respect for democratic governance.They rely on secrecy and confusion to stay in power.
III. No Transparency: Shareholders Denied Access to Information Under the current board president, transparency has completely collapsed: Annual meeting records are no longer distributed to shareholders—they can only be accessed by making an appointment with Metro Management.
Shareholder questions were forced to go through unit chairs—with many unanswered.
Metro Management and the Board actively discouraged shareholder meetings by distributing flyers and launching One Call messages to discourage participation.
The Board refused to promote or implement the Emergency Broadband Benefit (EBB), a federal assistance program that could have financially helped shareholders.
These actions do not reflect leadership—they reflect incompetence, mismanagement, and disregard for shareholders.
What This Reveals About Board Incompetence: They do not want shareholders to have access to key information.They deliberately block shareholder discussions and meetings.They ignore programs that could financially help residents.
IV. Metro Management’s Role in Supporting a Failing Board Metro Management has actively enabled the Board’s incompetence by:
Failing to object when legal counsel falsely announced a 2022 election that never happened.
Participating in the suppression of shareholder meetings through flyers and One Call messages.
Remaining silent as the Board appointed unelected members in secrecy.
Metro Management is supposed to ensure compliance and good governance—but instead, they support incompetence, secrecy, and rule-breaking.
What This Reveals About Metro Management’s Incompetence: They cannot properly oversee cooperative governance.They do not protect shareholder interests—they protect the Board.
They have no issue violating ethical and professional property management standards.
V. The Board President’s Complete Failure in Leadership The current Board President was a former Team Legacy member and was previously educated on the importance of following by-laws and maintaining transparency. Yet, under her leadership:
Shareholders lost their voting rights for two years (2022 & 2024).One-third of the board was appointed in secret.
Annual meeting records are no longer distributed to shareholders.
She failed to address the Emergency Broadband Benefit (EBB) for struggling shareholders.
By-law violations not only continued—they became worse.She was educated on these very issues, yet now she is leading the Board into total mismanagement.
What This Reveals About Board Leadership Incompetence: She is unqualified to lead the cooperative.She knowingly ignores the rules she was once educated on.
She has actively made transparency and governance worse.
Conclusion: Why Shareholders Must Understand the Depth of Incompetence.
This is not just about one bad decision—this is about years of consistent failure by the Board, Metro Management, and legal counsel.
This document is not a call for action—it is a wake-up call for ALL shareholders.
What Shareholders Need to Understand: Your cooperative is being mismanaged at every level.The people in charge are not following the rules they were elected to uphold.
Metro Management is not protecting your rights—they are protecting the Board.
Legal counsel is aware and covering up violations, rather than enforcing compliance.
Elections are being manipulated or outright canceled to keep the same people in power.
This isn’t speculation—this is documented fact.
