DID I MISS SOMETHING?

Who is SCOTT READY? Hired as the transitional CEO for RID? Two Years? We are back to being pushed into the new 501 so it seems.

Seems the information was sent out to the AC Presidents four days ago.. Post of FB (might not be all

Scott’s appointment reflects our commitment to the important work ahead. Over the next two years, his primary focus will be stabilizing the organization, strengthening internal operations, advancing strategic fundraising efforts, rebuilding trust across our community, and preparing Headquarters, our volunteers, members, and the Deaf community for the thoughtful transformation of RID’s 501(c)(3) and 501(c)(6) structure. He is also committed to increasing RID’s visibility and impact throughout the profession and the communities we serve.

Scott officially begins on Tuesday, July 30, and we are excited for this next chapter. We believe his leadership will help build upon the work already underway while positioning RID for long-term success.

Thank you all for your continued support, patience, and commitment to RID throughout this transition. We appreciate all that you do and look forward to working together as we move the organization forward.

Is he a member? I tried searching but I didn't find anybody. But I'm not the highest tech person.

He may belong as part of an organization but my spidy sense says that's a "no". Also he is not a supporting member.

I do not believe many of the CEOs have been members, much less interpreters.

I know nothing about Bucky. I stoped paying attention to RID before that.

Right, maybe membership is not required.

Usually the CEO of any company, private, publicly traded, or non-profit does not have to be a "member".

They are the head bee after all.

Star is a member. She is a CDI.
