During the "Central Summit", Art Erickson, President of CNIA, and President of Urban Ventures that a donor had given CNIA 12,500 matching funds. Others at the meeting asked Art where that money was coming from. Art Erickson would not disclose the donor. Art Erickson also reported during this meeting that the Bookkeeper for CNIA had the CNIA books -- and would not give them back despite repeated requests. Robert Lilligren's office is still putting together the notes from the Central Summit. Frankly, I had hoped to see the meeting notes before.
