Chairwoman Roslyn Brock and President/CEO Ben Jealous
Call for Action Letter - Shorten Version, Excerpt
Broken System
Greeting President Ben Jealous!
Congratulations to you, your family and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People/NAACP in your selection to Time Magazine 40 Under 40.
Fixing a Broken System
The headlines of the Time article are very apropos for my email this afternoon and the Recommendations and information I have sent to your attention and the attention of Chairwoman Roslyn Brock.
We have a “broken system” here in Milwaukee. And judging by a comment to a recent Journal Sentinel article, National NAACP suspends Milwaukee branch elections, “Please investigate the Racine NAACP, too. We have the exact same problems. After revelations of corruption and fiscal mismanagement, the Racine NAACP "leaders" have hunkered down to squelch dissent and silence whistleblowers. There's no one here but foxes guarding the chicken coop,” ( per comment of OrbsCorbs - ); we also have it elsewhere in the State of Wisconsin .
We need to quickly seize the moment and "restore faith in the process".
In the Milwaukee Branch case, it is "storing/creating" for the new member or perspective member and "re-storing for the experienced and/or life member" of the NAACP. Either way, it calls for principle-centered leadership, best practices, truth-telling, transparency, accountability and customer care no matter who is at the helm.
An immediate response if needed from you.
Respectfully,
Mary Glass – Member, 2010 Nominating Committee Secretary – Milwaukee Branch
