Next up, the GPT consultant? And what did lay leadership know and when did they know it? Label it Narishgate.

Nice gig if you can get it. Lot of shekels for absolutely nothing of value delivered to Federations or JFNA. Could have paid for two-four real staff!

Who is a "consultant" accountable to? Not the lay leadership; only to the CEO -- and that is just further evidence of part of what is wrong at an organization that iis totally lost. By the way, I filled in the blank with the word "nothing."

As a CPA, I can share that I sincerely doubt if this is even a legal arrangement. A casual observer might suggest that this is an illegal tax avoidance scheme. This person is directed as an employee and could likely not qualify under IRS guidelines as an independent contractor "consultant".

My Federation would never countenance such behavior.
