Hi GP --
Wow, what a story -- very pleased it had a happy ending with her return to your group.
Give credit to yourself and the other docs for showing your solidarity with her; the support may have made her see that what she was doing was well within the bounds of professional ethics and she didn't need to feel shamed by the board members. [Who as you say probably have some public and "unprofessional" photos/comments among them that would not hold up well to scrutiny....]
Sounds like your group has a lot of networking and change-making power within it. Here's to the founder and the participants (and yes you looked great in the pink!).
