Board claims she was removed because she was “disrespectful and does not follow protocol, consumes meeting time and does not contribute to the WDB’s mission, vision or structure.”
In an interview with the Verde Independent, Yavapai Community College’s former representative to the Work Force Development Board, Alexandria Wright , claimed that the decision by the Yavapai County Board of Supervisors September 26– acting upon a request by the Workforce Develop Board’s executive committee—to remove her from the Committee was unwarranted.
Ms. Wright was removed, according to Anita Payne, executive committee member of the Northern Arizona Council of Governments and chair of the Workforce Development Board (WDB), because she was “disrespectful and does not follow protocol, consumes meeting time and does not contribute to the WDB’s mission, vision or structure.” She also stated that “Ms. Wright demonstrates a pattern of behavior that is considered to be unprofessional and disruptive without consideration for protocol, which she has been asked to follow on several occasions.”
Wright claimed that the “letter is unsubstantiated and unwarranted.”
When asked during her interview by Tom Tracy of the Verde Independent about her replacement on the Workforce Board, she replied her seat had been replaced by the “Hair Skin and Nail Institute.”
