For a couple of years I have unwillingly been voted onto a club committee that my kids participate in. Am useless at speaking up and last year I got voted on as treasurer, which I vehemently didn’t want given the current secretary has an extensive history of inappropriate financial dealings and been removed from several other club committees for that very reason. I was unable to speak up at the meeting so as soon as I got home I sent a message to the chairman informing him I did not want the position and could they elect someone else to undertake the duties. End of story or so I thought. Fast forward twelve months to this week when I attended an online committee meeting to re-elect new members when I was asked if I would remain on as treasurer. When I stated that I had not undertaken any duties as such last year after refusing the position I was informed they had disregarded my wishes and kept me on as treasurer, and that the secretary had informally acted on my behalf over the past year and I was treasurer “in name only”. I am absolutely horrified they have acted in such a manner and now terrified I could be responsible for any financial wrongdoings on their part. As I mentioned, am terrible at speaking out so I need to write to them resigning from the committee as I want to be no part of it, but how do I word it appropriately?
