Romona Guillory was a member of the Workforce Investment Board. Ms. Guillory states that she faxed her report to the Board on April 26, 2010. The Board did receive a blank report from the fax number; however, there was no way for the Board to know from who the blank fax was received. Ms. Guillory's husband signed for the notice of delinquency on May 6, 2011. Mr. Guillory contacted Ms. Guillory regarding the letter, she assumed it was in reference to her 2010 report since the notice of delinquency was received in 2011. she did not ask her husband for particulars regarding the letter. She immediately faxed in her 2010 Tier 2.1 annual pfd on May 6, 2011. In March 2012, she received another notice in reference to the 2009 Tier 2.1 pfd and faxed it immediately. It was at this time she realized she must have misunderstood what was requested in the May 6, 2011 notice of delinquency.
