I'll admit that this debacle -- specifically the lack of serious accountability EVEN NOW for clearly culpable behavior by these disgraced individuals -- is still less abject than, for example, PG&E's executives doing no prison time after the horrific pipeline gas explosion in San Bruno and findings of willfully negligent maintenanc. Nor any former Wells Fargo senior managers jailed or ruined despite thousands of employees on their watch having created illicit accounts in customers' names in what clearly was a company culture, accountable to and undoubtedly initiated from the top.
But isn't there still some prospect for justice here? To date, the abusive fundraiser that drove good employees away, the HR manager who abetted it instead of protecting those subordinates, and the CEO who shielded the fundraiser as long as she brought home the bacon, all have simply "resigned," having collected millions in salaries for this behavior.
If not "clawback" of that compensation, perhaps there is other legal recourse for the affected former employees -- but it won't ultimately be justice unless the responsible managers pay.

Any director in a California non-profit corporation has access to all documents of the corporation. (not medical/confidential). The failure of the majority of this board, to 'manage by walking around' and asking hard questions, is unfortunately very typical of many organizations.
This board needs to have a few of the 'very influential' past members replaced. Like - the last two or three chairs of the board! No organization can change, with the same poor oversight happening.
