I am one of those volunteers disappointed over the treatment of Michael Moran. I have one possible explanation for this mess for you to consider. I have heard others suggest that the differences between Mr. Moran and the board have been growing pains of an organization wondering how fast or slow it should grow with the pressures of a new more expensive space. May I suggest that Mr. Moran was not moving fast enough for the board and the board wanted to move too fast for Mr. Moran. Without time, discussion, research, analysis and experimentation, neither scenario can be judged as correct.

I feel it would be supercilious for any board member to claim, “Michael didn't grow in a management sense”; Perhaps the board has grown a bit too big in the wrong places.

My best to you in this time of self reflection. May you dare to take the path less level and pledge the time it takes to plan rather than steam roll the troubles away.

Sincerely,

Maureen Tannetta
