[Massachusetts-NFB] A Sincere apology and moving forward together

[sharawinton at gmail.com]

Hello Federation Friends and Family,

I hope this message finds you well and enjoying the beautiful weather we've
been having.

I am writing today with a heavy heart. It is not always easy to acknowledge
when we have fallen short, but after taking time to reflect, I want to offer
my sincere apology to everyone who participated in the resolutions
discussion at our recent convention-and especially to  Sengil Inkiala aka
Inky.

I want you to know that we have taken this seriously. Both the Convention
Committee and the Board have discussed how we can improve, and we are
committed to handling resolutions in a more thoughtful and productive way
moving forward. As part of this effort, we have named Al Sten-Clanton as our
new Resolutions Chair. We are also looking to expand the committee and would
welcome additional members to help ensure a stronger process.

As your President, I never want anyone to feel unheard or undervalued. That
matters deeply to me. I am continuing to work on myself so that I can lead
more effectively and serve you better. With your support and honest
feedback, I am confident we can grow and improve together.

This affiliate-and each of you-means a great deal to me. I want us to
continue building something strong, inclusive, and impactful for the blind
of Massachusetts and beyond.

If you are interested in joining the Resolutions Committee, please reach out
to me off-list. And if there is anything you would like to discuss, I
welcome you to contact me so we can set up a time to talk or meet.

Thank you for your understanding and for all that you do.

 

With Love, Hope and Determination,,

 

Shara Winton

President, National federation of the Blind of Massachusetts
