In early-2011, Price Noble received a call from one of her peers from Cal-Diego PVA’s parent organizations. This person advised Price Noble that his chapter’s president had called Black employees “Aun ... t Jemima.” He also told Price Noble that the President had said, “Those Blacks stick together,” “We just need to clean house and hire two people that are white,” “You have to proofread her letters because she likes to type in Ebonics.” Concerned that racial discrimination was running rampant in that chapter, Price Noble elevated the complaint. She relayed the complaint to several high-ranking individuals at Cal-Diego. Little did Price Noble know that she would wear these efforts as her scarlet letter. Cal-Diego’s retaliation was swift. Approximately one month after her complaint, Cal-Diego PVA’s President made a motion calling for Price Noble’s termination. Instead, Cal-Diego PVA placed Price Noble on a 30-day monitoring. One month later, at the next board meeting, Cal-Diego handed Price Noble an ultimatum. If she refused to resign from her prestigious position as Chair of the Association of Chapter Executive Directors, she would be immediately terminated Cal-Diego PVA. Price Noble reluctantly resigned from her position as Chair of the Association of Chapter Executive Directors. However, Cal-Diego PVA continued in its effort to force Price Noble out of the organization. Cal-Diego PVA’s President took away her job duties, instructed her to compile a list of bills she regularly paid on behalf of the organization, demanded the passwords to computers and online accounts, and demanded access to Cal-Diego’s storage unit. Feeling the heat of Cal-Diego PVA’s retaliation, Price Noble involuntarily quit her employment with Cal-Diego PVA.
