[Ct-nfb] My Response to Cris

[Barbara Blejewski]

Hi Cris,  

 

 

I am responding to your recent email on the NFB of Connecticut  listserv   concerning the topics of alleged  unethical usage of members contact information and conflict of interest  by the Presiden.  First,your statement pertaining to registering people with ITN is not and has never been the Volunteer Coordinator's responsibility  .  The Executive Director is responsible for registration of individuals who are interested in receiving transportation from ITN. I am aware of the job duties which are specified in the job   description because I am also a Volunteer Coordinator with The Independent Transportation Network of Northcentral Connecticut. Based upon the above-mentioned facts, there is no conflict of interest on the part of the President or me. .  I also didn't realize sharing information with fellow Federationists  in northcentral Connecticut constituted unethical behavior. Denial of access to information about available  alternative transportation is unethical because it is a violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Civil Rights Act.    Since most of the towns in northcentral Connecticut are rural, it is imperative that visually impaired/blind individuals and seniors who reside there  have access to  information about alternative transportation in order to live independently.  

 

 

Furthermore, had you been subjected to both the wrongful and harmful alligations  which you previously mentioned,including defamation of character,  I'm sure you would have demanded an apology in writing.  We, the members of the NFB of Connecticut  need to be a strong organization by solving problems rather than causing them. 

 

 

Sincerely,
