There are certain types of records which the cooperative requires board members (and staff) to only access either on premises and/or on a secure device. Mr. Dwyer wishes to lift those restrictions for his own convenience, while simultaneously trying to paint the other board members and professional staff as some sort of unreasonable gatekeepers hiding the secrets from his prying eyes.
The fact of the matter is that it’s just a long-standing board policy (similar to policies at other large organizations with sensitive information — not that Mr. Dwyer has any experience working at large organizations or utilities, but I digress) that has been on the books at NHEC for nearly 40 years, and was actually re-affirmed last year in a unanimous board vote. Yes, Mr. Dwyer was one of those voting in the affirmative.
This is all just a bunch of half-baked politicking in an election year. Who could possibly say no to board members having nearly unrestricted access to coop information?? Before putting your private information at risk so that Mr. Dwyer can “ask informed questions,” carefully consider your vote.

A good debate, I wish we could continue over cocktails
A dilemma for those of us trying to understand from a distance is that Mr Dwyer has made his assertions under his own name, and it appears from the NHEC website that neither management nor other Board members have contradicted him on the basic point that he has been denied important information. The site notes that the Board does not support adoption, but offers no reasoning. Please correct me if I'm wrong here. Thanks
