Prior to the BOG, President Sandy appointed a member-led committee to investigate. The committee deemed there was a violation of the SEANC ethics policy and reported it to the Executive Committee, which agreed and forwarded it to the BOG for a hearing pursuant to the SEANC Ethics Policy. After holding a hearing in executive session, the BOG determined there was a violation and voted to place the individual on probation for a period of three years with certain conditions.
