VerifiedThank you for your question. My goal is to provide you with the best possible answer.
To achieve that goal it may be that I will find that I need to gather further information from you. As well, it's quite possible that you may feel the need to ask me additional questions for further clarification.
But, please understand that as a careful lawyer I will always give you an honest answer even if the answer is sometimes not what you were hoping for.
If they made you an offer for this payment and you accepted it they cannot change their mind.
When the Board made the offer they were acting as agent for the organization and bound the organization to the agreement.
They cannot change any terms of the agreement unless you agree they can.

I didn't say they cannot rescind a motion. They can.
But they cannot rescind an offer made to someone. They are not above the law just because they are a board.
