[Reading-hall-of-fame] Seven Recommendations for IRA to Consider & "My Transgression"

[Jack Cassidy]

Hi Folks,

Attached are seven recommendations that I just sent to the IRA Board. If you
agree with any of these, i urge you to contact some or all the Board members
yourself. Their e-mail addresses are all listed on the e-mail below.

By the way, at the May Board meeting, the then-President announced publicly
that my communication to you about the February Board meeting was
inappropriate. Luckily, I was not mentioned by name. However, it was obvious
that my "transgression" had been discussed. Soon afterward, a Board member
said "I don't know if i should be seen talking to you." I believe that my
update was clearly labeled as "Cassidy Observations." Thus, I obviously, I
disagree with then-president's position. The February update is again
attached. What do you think?

Hi Folks,

My grapevine tells me that you will be having a meeting soon. I urge you to
consider some if not all of these recommendations. Also, try to resist the
urge to say "who the h... does he think he is?' I believe I have a somewhat
unique perspective on IRA having been a state council president, a past IRA
board member and president, an observer of IRA Board meetings for 15 years,
a nearby resident, a special service award winner, etc. etc.

As always, I commend you for your hard work. You have an excellent board.
