Legal Challenge
We believe these actions by the current DHS Board are both inconsistent with the Society’s moral responsibility to serve the entire community without discrimination and incompatible with the founding principles of the Society upon which its brand, its assets and its goodwill have been built since 1991.

Successful intervention by the courts can effectively hold the door open for community members to get involved and to become members and elect a Board of Directors that will be accountable to them.
