[quote=Anonymous]If any members of the Board are following this forum, I respectfully ask that you address the concerns being raised, not through staff, Tom Walsh, or his supporters, but directly, as representatives of the DCSC community. If this forum is not the appropriate place, I urge the Board to issue a communication to the families.

It’s also important to acknowledge that many families are hesitant to speak up due to a perceived risk of retaliation, something that appears to be supported by how this situation has unfolded.

To be clear: I am not accusing Michelle Alioto of sexual harassment or abuse of power. However, her conduct has raised legitimate concerns that deserve honest answers.

Questions for the Board:

Were Michelle Alioto’s actions toward Tom Walsh reviewed and deemed appropriate?

If no wrongdoing was found, why were corrective steps required?

If corrective action was taken, does that not imply her behavior was at least inappropriate?

Does the Board believe her conduct aligns with DCSC’s leadership standards?

Even if her actions don’t meet the threshold of harassment, unprofessional behavior should not be tolerated, especially in youth sports. In any serious organization, that would warrant removal.

A Broader concern: how does the Board justify allowing inappropriate behavior from a senior staff member, while past staff and families, including Tom Walsh, have been removed for simply disagreeing and with ED or raising concerns?

The club must apply fair and consistent standards across the board. These decisions cannot rest solely with Greg Andrulis, especially if he has shown an unwillingness to lead with sound judgment. Given the number of issues that have occurred under his leadership, isn’t it time to evaluate his continued role in guiding the direction of the club?[/quote]
