[Reading-hall-of-fame] Re: Jack Cassidy's Report

[Peter P. Afflerbach]

Hello all:

To add to this--I am working on a revision of a book, and learned this week that Corinne Mooney, also of IRA publications, is leaving in March.  Anne and Corinne are not only very talented editors, they are
talented acquisition editors.  Without their efforts and expertise, the publications program may be jeopardized--another area of concern.  I am not sure who is left at IRA publications, but the departure of Anne and Corinne may be representative 
of the manner and degree of downsizing for all IRA staff.

Sincerely,

Peter Afflerbach

Thanks for the report Jack.
As we are wont to say down under here in the Land of Oz, "Things look bloody crook mate". (Gloss: 'The situation appears to be extremely bleak').
While International members  like me were aware that IRA was suffering financially, I had no idea things were so "bloody crook".  I'd noticed things such a  reduction in the traditional commitment to reaching out to and supporting  the 'International' membership,  I had no idea of how radical the 'cuts' were. There'll be a significant loss of corporate history/ memory with the loss of the positions and people you and David Reinkin identify.

We can only hope the notion that it is supposed to be an ' International' association isn't lost as well.
