I second Mr. Lyons concerns of timing and stress on operations and deep appreciation to Ms. Daugherty for taking on multiple responsibilities and appreciation to the entire staff in doing their part to keep things functioning smoothly during this time.

That job is still being done by an interim ED who does not have the benefit of that full pay while also performing our primary fundraising mission which supports everything we do. I'm deeply concerned for the impact on the mission of each role and whether the cost savings on salary is an effective alternative to having the two roles fully staffed by two people who will both be focused on effective fundraising efforts.

Perhaps this was the best option we had at the time, and I am glad we are steered through this turbulence by many capable hands and generous hearts.
