An Important Message from the Inglewood Community League Board of Directors

The Community League board of directors is saddened to announce that the League has suffered a number of financial losses over the last year and a half. This has left the League in a precarious financial position. We have hired a forensic auditor to identify the amount and sources of the loss and have reported the loss to the Edmonton Police Service.  We also have retained legal counsel and are taking steps to recoup the funds. The board is taking advice from the EFCL and has put a number of stringent financial controls in place. Once the forensic audit is complete and we have a clearer understanding of the situation, we will provide members with a comprehensive and transparent accounting of all findings. Members of the volunteer board have been left truly shaken by these events and we appreciate your ongoing support and patience. 

At the same time we have lost a couple of long time board members. Luckily, we have many talented people on the board and folks have stepped up. Joelene (Joe) Mackey is our new president, appointed by the Board in an interim capacity until our next Annual General Meeting in the fall. Also stepping up in acting positions are JoAnne Burek, Treasurer and Morgan Smith, Vice President. Thanks, Joe, JoAnne and Morgan!

Updates on the situation will be provided as the situation develops. We will also be hosting a meeting, open to league members, as soon as possible to communicate details as we are able.

Please keep yourselves up to date by checking the Friends of Inglewood Facebook page for the date of this meeting and find ongoing updates in our monthly newsletter.
