President’s Message (6/22/2014)
I feel that it is important for me to address a matter that recently has been the subject of much inquiry and conjecture.
After being elected President of the NCRS, I had to preside over a very controversial decision regarding Roy Sinor’s status as the Historic Documents Service Manager (HDSM).
As President, I appoint several NCRS members to positions within NCRS and one of those was the appointment of Roy to the HDSM position. The NCRS Board of Directors (BOD) must ratify all such appointments.
Roy’s appointment was made, and the approval discussion was deferred to the NCRS BOD Executive Session. After lengthy discussion in Executive Session, the appointment of Roy to the HDSM position did not receive the necessary 2/3 vote of Directors for ratification. The subject of Roy’s acceptance of a paid Barrett Jackson position while concurrently holding the paid NCRS position of Historic Document Services Manager had been debated within the Board for several months
Subsequently, the Board defined a revised paid position for Roy, which was offered to him. Roy chose to decline the new position.
The statement below describes the Board’s action regarding this matter
Due to Roy Sinor’s decision to take a paid position with Barrett Jackson, the NCRS Board of Directors voted to revise the Historic Documents Service Manager’s position.
The new position was offered to Roy and he declined the offer.
Currently the Document Validation Service is suspended until further notice.
All other documents services will continue as usual.
