Dear ACA -

Would it be possible to keep members informed of the current situation at Adventure Cycling via the news tab of the organization's website? I believe that Andy Williamson's resignation took effect at the end of February unless he agreed to remain as an interim. Is there an interim director? Have there been other resignations or retirements from the staff or board? What is the status of the conversations with the past leadership?

I suspect that there is post-vote exhaustion among staff and members as well as disappointment for those who supported the sale of the headquarters building.  Not to mention organizational flux given the recent resignation of the executive director. And yet, this remains the best and most fruitful time to engage.

There have been many suggestions made as to future directions for ACA; however, one stands out clearly. Both in terms of growing the organization and restoring its financial viability - - this is the time to do major outreach to those members who have left over the past five years. These are 32,000 people who we already know are strong supporters of bicycle touring.

Regards,
John Egan

John,

I wouldn't count on the Member News portion of the website for accurate, up-to-date developments.  As of late, it's been a vehicle for one-sided positioning with no evidence yet that's about to change for the better.  And as we've seen, the decision makers have chosen not to respond to any of the many legitimate questions, etc. posed on its own forum.   

You might, though, garner a response by contacting those now in charge at:

info@adventurecycling.org, governance@adventurecycling.org, nbailey@adventurecycling.org.

Have you asked to be put on the Save ACA Committee's mailing list?  Its members meet every Wednesday evening and who knows what or when some genuine news will be announced.
