A provisional agreement at the 1999 convention, which was subject to ratification by the executive committee and by the incorporators of the new corporation, made the executive committee of the Prohibition National Committee the board of directors of the Historical Society. All but one member of the Executive Committee and all voting members of the new corporation ratified the convention agreement described above. However, the Secretary of the Prohibition National Committee and the treasurer of the Prohibition National Committee both ignored several requests by Hedges that they assume the duties of their respective offices, in regard to the Historical Society. Dodge has offered to act as both treasurer and as secretary for the Historical Society, but his doing so would be contrary to both the convention agreement and to the National Committee by-laws. Hedges has recommended to the members of the Historical Society that they agree among themselves on an interim Board of Directors, to serve until the problem of the National Committee officers can be resolved probably until the 2001 conference of the Prohibition National Committee.
