The SWEAP-National Council bared its decision to end its almost 21 years of affiliation with Courage in a three-page resolution.
“The affiliation of SWEAP with Courage had been put into question in recent years, particularly the fees being collected and its utilization, the activities being engaged, and the services being provided to affiliate members,” it said. “These issues led to the clamor among the members of the association, including the members of the National Council, to discuss and evaluate the affiliation.”
