AAII AAII American Association of Individual Investors AAII Colorado Springs, CO chapter allows its speakers to BULLY it's female attendees Colorado Springs, Colorado
9/27/11 Colorado Springs AAII meeting I was BULLIED by speaker Craig Wisniewski. Right before the meeting started I was handed some flyers on vacuum cleaners. I told Craig, in a loud voice so he could hear me, I did NOT want one. He told me I had to have a flyer, I told him a second time that I did NOT want one. He then told me I had to have a flyer and put one on the table in front of me. I was bullied by this man, and totally disrespected.
I told him NO in no uncertain times and was totally disrespected. I then had a conversation with Larry Booth, Colorado president chapter.
Larry totally minimized everything I told him. First he told me that speakers aren't allowed to sell anything. (I then wondered, why with you in the room are you allowing him to try to sell a product). Then Larry said, oh, he's a salesman, he has a hard time hearing no. I said I've been totally disrespected, I told him loudly NO twice, and he still forced this information upon me. Larry has zero backbone. I then left the meeting after 20 mins. I will NOT ever attend a Colorado Springs AAII chapter again. They have allowed a speaker to bully a female participant. And AAII has a state chapter that cannot enforce the one rule they have, and has no backbone.
I advise all females who want to attend this chapter, don't. You will regret it.
