Nonprofit Agency's Board Members Resign Over Way Agency Governed

The Hancock County Board of Supervisors wants a state audit of a nonprofit agency that receives federal funding to assist the underprivileged because four board members have resigned, saying they fear they will be liable because of mismanagement by other key board members.

The four board members who resigned from the Gulf Coast Community Action Agency have common complaints aimed at the agency's executive committee: illegal meetings, interference with the GCCAA staff, questionable spending and fighting with state and federal agencies over cited deficiencies rather than working to resolve them.
