General Discussion / New Executive Director

« on: November 18, 2021, 03:13:47 pm »

Yesterday I received the latest copy of the Adventure Cycling Magazine as well as a separate fundraising piece from the organization.  The letter in the magazine that has always been written by the Executive Director was instead written by the Board Chair.  In her letter she welcomed a new Interim Director.  The fundraising letter was signed by the new Interim.  Neither mailing mentioned Scott Pankratz nor why he left.
Scott was there for only a year and a half and from what I can tell, led the development of the new strategic plan.
Can anyone comment on the circumstances of his departure.  I’m hesitant to donate without knowing more about the leadership situation.
Thanks for any insight you can provide.
