Dear MRDA members and broader roller derby community,
In the past week we (MRDA Grievance) have received an unprecedented number of contacts related to both current and historical incidents. We appreciate everyone who has come forward and submitted a grievance, shared information or provided context.
We are committed to ensuring that all grievances are examined with the same level of care and diligence to ensure the best possible resolution for all parties involved, in adherence with our ‘Code of Conduct’ and ‘Policies and Procedures’. At the time of writing, the volume of grievances has exceeded our committee’s capability to process them in a timely manner. We are currently triaging all open cases in order to process them in the most effective way possible. Please be assured that your case has not been ignored.
We are looking to increase the number of committee members to ensure that we can cover the existing volume. In the meantime, we ask that the Derby community extend this group of volunteers some grace as we try to fulfill our objectives.
As the new acting Head of Grievance, I (Tinytanium) am personally committed to ensuring that all cases are handled with the utmost care and attention, which they deserve. I hope that this wave of contacts represents a new era for the MRDA, and that we might move towards the resolution of some long-standing conflicts within our community.
Thank you for your patience,
Tinytanium – Head of Grievance
Lelith – Director of Member Relations
Grimace - President
Please refer to the MRDA ‘Policies and Procedures’ and ‘Code of Conduct’ for information related to how to file a grievance.
