[Tall-Corn] Resignation of Stacy Cervenka

[April Enderton]

Great news! I hope that, in the future, the governor seeks input from blind Iowans when appointing a new director.

Don't let the door hit you on your way out, Stacey.

Thank you for this Madam president.  I hope that the NFBI and other well meaning organizations will help the IDB chart a course that would lead towards a more purposeful department.

Federation Family,

 

Director Cervenka resigned her position effective today. 

We will continue to work with the Commission board and department leadership as appropriate to support the department in providing the best possible services for blind Iowans.

I'm assuming that there will be no effort to fill the position until after the election, and we will advocate for a new director with the strong blindness philosophy and leadership strengths the department needs.
