I will comment on these admonitions in an upcoming Post.<br /><br />Thanks for alerting me.RWEXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01583858140298821830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8565163061165974643.post-65480733053868275202017-02-15T17:35:07.105-06:002017-02-15T17:35:07.105-06:00And, after numerous Federations around the country...And, after numerous Federations around the country, large and small, issued statements in response to the executive orders on immigration and refugees....<br /><br />http://jewishjournal.com/nation/215064/federation-stays-neutral-trump-refugee-order-despite-pressure/<br /><br />"Sandler told the Journal he supported the L.A. Federation’s decision to refrain from issuing a statement on the executive order.<br /><br />"'Federations really should not get involved in making statements one way or another, because they need not get distracted from the work Federations are supposed to do,' he said, adding that political statements inevitably upset some Federation donors."<br /><br />Wondering your thoughts on this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8565163061165974643.post-1016073287303068912017-02-14T08:19:59.090-06:002017-02-14T08:19:59.090-06:00If there was anything close to professional manage...If there was anything close to professional management going on at JFNA, someone would realize that there is a need for basic staff oversight and supervision. Having senior staff be visitors in their own organization's main office will never work.<br />Allowing senior staff to work remotely on a regular basis is bad business unless their work itself is remotely located.<br />The Washington Office being located in Washington makes sense but all the rest is nonsense.<br />The real role of Israel and Overseas is advocay in North Anerica where our Federations are - not in Israel. Allowing this inflated operation to continue to be run beneath the radar, far away from any serious supervision or oversight, is simply bad business and also perpetuates the mistaken ideology that "we know better" and "we are better" than those Israelis and those Israeli institutions. We are both throwing away valuable resources and being counterproductive at the same time.<br />Great business model!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
