This website is hosted by disenfranchised
volunteers and former volunteers of NAHA, a 501(c)3 nonprofit
organization, incorporated in the state of Colorado. Our goal is to
document information, testimony and affidavits relative to the Petition at
http://www.petitiononline.com/naha3666/petition.html
addressing concerns about the improper management of the
nonprofit corporation and its assets. Many of us have
endeavored to resolve myriad issues by other avenues for a longer period
of time than we want to think about. Our efforts have been blocked by
those in charge at NAHA and rather than cooperative resolution, we have
seen secrecy and stonewalling. We feel we have no alternative but to seek
redress from the agencies who govern the nonprofit activities of nonprofit
organizations in the U.S.
A positive goal of this website will be to provide nonprofit resources that might help the aromatherapy community become more aware of the laws, ethics and processes that apply to and govern nonprofits in the United States, and will include resources available to the fragmented US Aromatherapy community in a desire to seek higher ethics and professionalism in the nonprofit arena. If you would like to submit nonprofit resources to be listed they will be greatly appreciated. We are all volunteers here, but information will be posted as quickly as possible. You are invited to read our petition and add your signature if you feel it is justified and agree with its aims. The petition will be available for signatures until February 23, 2004, at which time it will be forwarded with supporting affidavits and documents to the State of Colorado and the IRS. Questions relative to the petition can be posed on the discussion group. We urge you to provide supportive affidavits as applicable and to make and read comments on the discussion group. Affidavits will only be posted on this website with your permission and can remain unpublicized but still be included as support materials for the petition itself. UPDATE: (July 2008) Our petition was submitted in the spring of 2004. We have talked with the recipients and it is clear that they will not take any action against NAHA for a variety of reasons. The state of the NAHA website and NAHA has continued to deteriorate for the last 4 years. It is still rating high on Google, but in fact provides very little real information about Aromatherapy in America. We have started the independent aromaconnection blog to discuss the aroma industry. Please go there to read about various issues that may concern aromatherapists, essential oil users, and small businesses in the aroma industry. |
