OPERATION REBOOT
Operation Reboot is a process used by the office of Mary Glass, Chair/CEO, Milwaukee Professionals Association, to provide strategic planning, channel development and due process. It requires a close look at strengths, opportunities, weaknesses and threats for paradigm building.
It is geared to "put-things/group/committee/house/organization in order.
Operation: Reboot – Accountability Matters is an outgrowth of the recent attempted Sabotage of the Milwaukee NAACP Branch 2010 Election Process, September 18, 2010, subsequent missteps by the local branch and the National office; and, the NEW Tea Party Report.
Purpose
To provide leadership in “getting house in order” for value-added quality of life and economic development issues facing Milwaukeeans, especially African Americans and other People of Color.
It includes addressing:

· September 18, 2010 Interruption of Membership Meeting for personal and wrongful act to include the Executive Committee

· September 18, 2010 Creating a potential danger with a law enforcement officer, Captain Gregory Moore of the Milwaukee Police Department was “left-in-control” while President Hamilton went upstairs for the Impromptu Executive Committee meeting.
Captain Moore is not one of the 8 officers or 24-seat Executive Committee. There were officers, executive committee members, ex-officers/ex-committee members and life-time members that would have been in-line with protocol.
Luckily, the confrontation that developed between Captain Moore and Attorney Tearman Spencer did not elevate to a well-known disaster.
