They just seem to have scandal after scandal and haven't implemented a single reform. They stack the agency boards with their own lay leaders who are either incompetent or indifferent to proper fiscal oversight. And their own financial and program staff are unable to provide proper oversight either.<br /><br />Thank goodness it hasn't impacted their fund raising, so they can continue to measure their effectiveness by dollars raised, not dollars spent well.<br /><br />There are all sorts of lunatic spending projects on top of major agencies that are unaccounted for.<br /><br />Meanwhile, there has not been a single change in practice since the fraud at MetCouncil and NYLAG and the bankruptcy of FEGS. They weren't even embarrassed that they gave FEGS money for programs that were imaginary in addition to everything else to do with the bankruptcy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8565163061165974643.post-29025544854472641292016-12-22T06:04:34.193-06:002016-12-22T06:04:34.193-06:00Why would JFNA's board demand accountability? ...Why would JFNA's board demand accountability? From everything we've seen since the current board chair took office, he doesn't. Think the board will rock the boat? <br /><br />In about 60 hours we light the first candle. Perhaps a 21st century version will bring a miracle of transparency to 25 Broadway. But I wouldn't bet any money on that outcome. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
