[Reading-hall-of-fame] Literacy leadership institute

[Risko, Victoria J]

Hi everyone,

I am a new member of the Reading Hall of Fame, initiated into the group at the last convention.  However, I was not a member of the listserv until just a few days ago. [perhaps my university sent the mail to spam!].    I am now on the listserv and  I am just catching up with the recent discussion about IRA's involvement with the  Literacy Leadership Institute with Valerie Ellery. This initiative is one of several developed by Mark Mullen, Interim Executive Director, without consultation with or approval from the IRA Board of Directors.  We learned about this partnership through an email message Mark sent to inform the Board shortly before the  email blast message was sent to the membership.

At our recent Board meeting, we asked Mark to bring all future initiatives that affect program development and financial commitments to the board for discussion and approval.  It is our goal to inform and be informed of such ventures before a commitment is made.

In the meantime, I encourage you to share your concerns and perspectives with Mark.  It is appropriate for him to understand the range of concerns that you have expressed; Mark Mullen <mmullen at reading.org>
