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.
