The LA-32 NC President Anthony Manzano Violated the bylaws by not filling in the vacancies as the bylaws states. 
The bylaws clearly states that I am the top runner from the at large community interest candidate and the President Anthony Manzano did not allow me to self nominate or someone to nominate. He claims because at April 5th GB meeting i declined  to not self nominate or be nominated for that month only and I repeat for that month only ( and you can view the YouTube footage that I said ONLY for that month April 5th GB meeting) the President Anthony manzano Discriminated me and did not allow me to go first at the May 3, 2017 GB meeting. He violated the bylaws by not allowing me to be the first to have my opportunity that I respectfully gain from my votes. The President Anthony Manzano, instead allowed a stakeholder, who is NOT from the candidate pool nor from the region to go before me.

The Remedy should be to redo and re-fill in the vacancies correctly. I may not get the majority votes to be on board but the Board Directors and stakeholders need to understand that bylaws need to be followed through correctly. 
Aaron Astom should not of been nominated before me. That was done incorrectly. He should be voted in correctly. 

Also, President Manzano needs to be censured and removed from board since he continues to violate the bylaws. 

I am very upset and disappointed by the way the LA32 NC President Anthony Manzano continues to violate bylaws.

When you bring additional fields into a conversion, Quickbase often finds inconsistencies. For example, say you're converting your Companies column into its own table. One company, Acme Corporation, has offices in New York, Dallas and Portland. So, when you add the City column to the conversion, Quickbase finds three different locations for Acme. A single value in the column you're converting can only match one value in any additional field. Quickbase needs you to clean up the extra cities before it can create your new table. To do so, you have one of two choices:

  • If you want to create three separate Acme records (Acme-New York, Acme-Dallas and Acme-Portland) click the Conform link at the top of the column.
  • If the dissimilar entries are mistakes (say Acme only has one office in New York and the other locations are data-entry errors) go back into your table and correct the inconsistencies—in this case, changing all locations to New York. Then try the conversion again.
