With Youth First Texas in disarray,
board chair calls special meeting
Youth First Texas board chair Chris Cognetta
has called a special meeting of the board for
Thursday, Jan. 17, "to consider and act on the res-
olution to reorganize the Youth First Texas Board of
Directors (including removal of all current members
of the Board of Directors)."
"It's time for new leadership to take on the chal-
lenges of the next decade," Cognetta said.
A year ago, a number of YFT directors either
rolled off the board or were not re-elected because
the remaining members felt the organization
needed a more active, working board.
One of the remaining board members, Jeremy
Liebbe, expressed concern recently that financial
entries were not being kept up to date. He said he
pulled some reports off the computer in December
and there had been no updates since October.
Liebbe's term ended in December and he was
not re-elected for the current year.
A number of community leaders reportedly ex-
pressed their concerns at a YFT board meeting
Jan. 8, including Wayne Davis of Dallas Bears,
Robert Delgado of the United Court of the Lone
Star Empire and Jeffrey Payne of Leather Knights.
Representatives from the Dallas Tavern Guild,
Cedar Springs Merchant Association and Texas
Gay Rodeo Association also attended.
"Our major donors were upset," said board
member David Freudiger.
One concern is that a high percentage of the or-
ganization's budget goes into administrative costs
with a small amount for youth programming.
Freudiger said he's only interested in what's best
for the youth and agreed that over the past two
years there's been some board dysfunction.
Since YFT is run by a working board, he said,
part of the solution is identifying the skills and func-
tions needed and then growing the board to fill
those positions.
He said the collective knowledge of running a
nonprofit among those who attended the meeting
was huge, and he wants to tap into that knowl-
edge.
He said there was little he could predict before
next week's meeting but thought the situation re-
quired major changes to the board.
"It's about moving forward," Freudiger said.
"We're going to correct the problems and create
the best environment for LGBT youth.*
Liebbe said: "Youth First Texas needs leadership
in place that the community has confidence in so
that the community continues to provide funding
for the youth."
Cognetta said the organization's financial posi-
tion is stable with enough money in the bank now
to operate for six months. Liebbe agreed with that
estimate.
The meeting will be at 7 p.m. Thursday at YFT,
5201 Harry Hines Blvd., and is open to the public.
