Overview
Give an overview of the case (i.e. who, when, where, and what is the problem or situation)
In 1981 Peter Smith became a member of the board of trustees of the MCA after being a long time donor and contributor. And in 1989 he became the board chairman. In 1989 the board hired Keith Schmidt as the MCA’s executive director due to his reputation to aid in the expansion of the MCA. Smith and Schmidt clashed on the speed of the expansion and their roles were not clearly defined. After a heated discussion over the expansion and Smiths disagreement with the boards decision to support Schmidt on the rate of growth Smith cut ties with the MCA.

Peggy has to seek alternatives to try to collect because the MCA is a bind because the expansion is unfunded and the MCA is now in debt.
