[NAGDU] FW: My Letter of Resignation

Fri Mar 12 15:00:12 UTC 2021

Hi,

In the spirit of total disclosure, I am no longer on the board. I chose not
to run back in 2019 to permit others to have their opportunity to lead.

Best Regards,

Michael Hingson

Janelle, I agree.  The only board member we have heard from is Mike Hingson.
Is the board working quietly behind the scenes?  Is Raul having some
personal/family issue requiring all his attention just now?  
I too would very much like to know what we're doing to help Ms. Blake.

Hello Tracy and all,

We have had all this bantering back and forth, but does anyone know if
anything is actually being done on her behalf?  We all have our opinions,
but I haven't heard of anything/action being asserted?  I realize I am not
on the board, nor would I want to be, but it just seems like we are doing a
lot of talking but I haven't heard of anything being done yet?

Janell and Miss Rosy

I agree with David.
It is most regrettable that Marion has decided to get out of the NFB.  We
need energy like his.
And we should absolutely be doing something about this case now, not weeks
or months from now!
Tracy

Marion,

I am sorry to see you pull out of the organizations into which you have
poured so much of your heart and soul over these years. I certainly
understand.

An advocacy group should not take a neutral or deliberative stand on such
disgusting, egregious, and uconsciounable behaviors that have repeatedly
been exhibited by SEGDI toward blind dog handlers. Positions and challenges
can always be changed after different new and verified facts surface. In the
meantime, quick and aggressive actions by advocacy groups like the NAGDU and
the NFB are clear obligations that they assume on our behalf.

Indecision, inaction, and delay are not acceptable. We hear these
deflections daily from bureaucrats. A rapid legal response and aggressive
publicity is warranted in these situations. It is clear that in our current
environment, sympathetic journalists can be found to deliver these stories
and arguments to the general public and to program donors.

As Mike HIngson noted, "Either we fight for the rights of blind people or we
stop complaining. It really is that simple."
