My initial confusion was due to calling itself what I believe at the time to be resident oversight committee. It’s “about“ info at the time intimated it could get the answers residents of OPA sought about anything and would perform oversight to a degree that would only seem afforded with special access. it also claimed it would hold the aboard accountable. From what I understand Peck has been an admin. In addition, Peck posted frequently and predominantly to the ROC. She and Clifford would congratulate each other on board accomplishments, page achievements, etc. I would look at various other pages and not see the OP information Peck posted to the ROC page. It came across as though Peck was the social media mouthpiece for the board, and the ROC was the preferred avenue for providing the info. In a community with many older citizens, who may not be able to read between the lines, it may not dawn on them that this is not an official page. 

in addition, there are mugs, business cards, and what appears to be an office location within what many believe will be her real estate location once she gets her Maryland license. Many asked for clarification on the ROC page about this, and was one of my first areas of concern with that page. Was this whole venture to add some added benefit to working with her in a real estate capacity? Was she attempting to monetize her apparent connection and influence over the board, and why would the board not look into this? Apparently, her unwavering support has already been rewarded with a position on a committee. 

I understand you may see only official board emails as legitimately representing a board member. However, when a board member reaches out with an unsolicited message to a resident and references her role and duty—  she is speaking as a board member. If she said “personally, I don’t want a felon on the board” fine. That is not what she did. In fact, she tried to insinuate some kind of conspiracy with embezzlement or theft as it’s goal. 
Peck again replies, "There is/was an agenda to get her people elected. As a director, I have a duty to guard our $16,000,000 a year budget. It's important for board members to have an attitude of service. There's a reason why the GM, every Department head, employee, every committee chair, and respected past board members are asking me to consider running for another term. My record speaks for itself."

Here is the first part Frank’s response to my email asking about the ROC page. Again, I didn’t know about the drama from last year at the time. I didn’t know who ran the Get Involved page. My concerns were the apparent sanctioning of a possibly improperly operating “oversight” that may be misleading to residents, monetizing off connections to the board etc. I was alarmed at the need to mention anything about the other pages founder— it seemed gossipy and unnecessary. But I was also concerned  with his focus regarding recruiting candidates. With his attempted use of bylaw changea to reduce the applicant pool—- it seems as though his conflict of interest/abuse of power isn’t something he is even trying to hide anymore. In one bylaw meeting someone on the board mentioned a mandatory period of time on a committee before being eligible to run. An appointment they have 100% control over. their motivations seem clear— maintaining power. 

 I have a lot more in the ways of emails here, but am concerned myself with the targeted attacks towards residents in the name of “fact sharing.” Which I guess at the end of the day is a real fear of mine. What extent can this board go to without accountability for their actions? It appears if you support them, you get rewarded with appointments to the board or committees. If you don’t, watch your back—as board members will take “facts” about your life and send unsolicited emails or messages to other community members about you. The board members are supposed to represent the best interests of our community, not their own.

Janeen,

Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
There are two Facebook Groups that I am aware of. There may be more. None are sanctioned by the Association.
Ocean Pines-Get Involved was founded by a known Federal Criminal. They have recruited candidates to run for the Board in the 2020 and 2021 elections. At least three current or former Directors have been, or currently are, associated with that group.
Ocean Pines ROC has not, to my knowledge, recruited candidates in those elections. At least one current member of the Board is associated with Ocean Pines ROC.
