This goes to the false premise of MCB Twenty Twenty to begin with. For here years later a self serving  and highly paid "hack" my terme by the way and totally appropriate term for Robertson earns all the "hackcredentials" he gets.

He has never finished any of his jobs, this hack Robertson even thos self designated by the rummied and insestouios and in bred Planning and Quality Team. Check it all out on these list serves. In fact if one gives anyone a report card for actually accomplishing anything MCB and the EMT including Robertson gets a big fat zero by any objective measure.

Yet this screwball gets way whit claiming federal funds for his job without accountability and then gets all self rightious as he does here and elsewhere when taken in to public account.

Oh my taxpayers should be pissed off at this clown and self acknoledged clown at that let alone we wo are blind.

Good afternoon fellow listserv members -



Back in about 2000, the agency was embarking upon a new venture - the 2020 Visioning Process. I found a document from back then that outlined some of the 2020 Guiding Principles. I won't list all of them but here are some of them from back then:



-          To create a learning organization for MCB

-          To invite staff to become learning facilitators and involve them in assisting MCB in capacity development

-          To create synergy with all involved members and allies of MCB

-          To involve everyone on a daily basis where we all can learn together and begin to trust and positively collaborate with others

-          To foster inclusive, not exclusive, practices in MCB

-          To give people an opportunity to dream, to share purpose, and to practice the philosophy of blindness

-          Create an organization learning climate where people feel connected

-          To search for mutual vision sharing opportunities

-          To include everyone and avoid feelings of separation and fragmentation

-          To strengthen relationships and trust across MCB

-          To create an equitable forum in which all can participate



One of the tools to help the agency reach the objectives noted above was the 2020 Listserv. It was established as a tool for MCB staff, consumers, community partners, and others to engage in dialogue and to share concerns, rehab issues, ideas, and successes. If a counselor or teacher in one part of the state had an issue the hope was he/she would post something on the listserv and others from around the state would chime in. It was supposed to be a safe, trusting environment for all participants. It clearly is no longer accomplishing what it was designed to do.



At last count, there were 41 members to this listserv. Of that number, 16 were MCB staff which means that out of the approximate 107 MCB employees, only 16 choose to remain on the listserv. Obviously, it's no longer working as we initially intended. Therefore, it is with some hesitation and reluctance that I will be leaving the listserv. As one of the original members of the 2020 Design Team, it really pains me to do this. Yet, the listserv does not provide a forum for dialogue or an exchange of ideas so there is really no reason to be a subscriber. I might even question whether the listserv is necessary any longer but that's not for me to decide. 



Reluctantly signing off..
