its former self, beset by struggles with leadership, finances, and communication," and the board's term was reported to be defined by "instability and uncertainty." In June 2019, Integrity announced via Twitter that two employees of the Episcopal Diocese of East Carolina had been appointed to the board, and Integrity USA's address changed to Kinston, NC, the seat of the Episcopal Diocese of East Carolina. In December 2019, amid allegations of mismanagement, Integrity USA's president resigned, citing the need to spend more time with her family. Integrity USA Founder Louie Crew Clay died two days later, on November 27, 2019. Final board election In early 2020, Egan Millard of Episcopal News Service reported that Integrity USA's board election was "plagued by controversy." Integrity USA's board declined to name who would be voting in an election for the nonprofit's next president, and "did not include an opportunity to write in an alternative candidate, which is mandated by Integrity's bylaws – an omission that further frustrated some members." According to Millard, Integrity USA's Secretary Ellis Montes nominated Ron Ward, who had no prior history of involvement with Integrity, as candidate for president of the group. Integrity members raised concerns about Ward’s lack of experience with Integrity and The Episcopal Church, as well as an incident in 2012 when he was kicked off the Norwich Democratic Town Committee for "a pattern of behavior that included personal attacks and a history of absences from monthly committee meetings". No votes were cast for the candidate running for President of Integrity USA. Instead, multiple former Integrity USA presidents publicly called for the nonprofit's dissolution. At the March 17, 2020 board meeting, the chair of the stakeholders' council of the board of Integrity asserted that he did not recognize Ward as its President. As further appointments to the organization's board were made in what some members felt were in contravention of the nonprofit corporation's by-laws, the legitimacy of Integrity USA's leadership and future elections were placed in doubt by some remaining membership. In April 2022, the group was formally dissolved.
