My view and opinions of recent regrettable goings-on at the Dane County Y that involve the Swim Team. My opinions only. If you want to contact me, know that the email associated with this blog is unreadable (it's a netscape.net address, For God's Sake). Google me and you shall find me.
Wow. Wow! Has anyone reported this to the Cap Times? Also, this seems like something the national YMCA umbrella organization should know about. On its face, this sounds like insider dealing.
I'd really like to know: if they're having financial difficulty and need to bring in more members, why they decided to fire people they did, and kept the marketing staff. Who are these marketing people, how long have they been there, and how many new/effective ideas have they come up with to increase membership?
Their books need to be scrutinized. So I also want to know, who does that? who would have the authority to investigate? Who does Carrie Wall answer to? From what I've heard the (volunteer) board is pretty much useless, they're there for fundraising and that's about it.
Perhaps someone should contact the general counsel for the YMCA national organization. The hiring of QTI to manage the firing looks like a conflict of interest -- was a bidding process undertaken for that arrangement? FYI -- general counsel of YMCA is:
Angela F. Williams Senior Vice President, General Counsel & Chief Administration Officer YMCA of the USA 1422 N. Orleans Street, #4S Chicago, IL 60610 (312) 419.8415
The COO of QTI, the company hired to manage ths "termination process", is a YMCA board member!
