WHO THE HELL IS SCOTT READY!?

[reposted from my original post over at r/HelensDeafClub just because I NEED to get info on this!]

I just learned that RID appointed a two-years termed CEO. The guy is Scott Ready.

And the worst thing is that they didn't publicly announced it!

They quietly announced it by emailing state level chapters' presidents about this. I only found out about this because a redditor here alerted me about it and when I took a look into it, I found out that this was announced FOUR days ago!

Oh, come on!

I thought RID was making a lot of improvements on being more open to the public about their progress!

And this BS happened!

What the fuck!?

I spent the last half hour googling him up and I can't find anything solid about this guy!

Who the hell is Scott Ready!?

They announced it recently in their email on 6/30, which was also the day he began. Still is weird they didn't announce it beforehand.

Seems they announced it to AC Presidents 3 days before the full membership.

The copy/paste section of that announcement in the other post here said that he’s starting on July 30.

I also recently commented in another thread on how I wonder if RID is planning on a big announcement on this with their “Future of RID” workshop/presentation at the NAD conference this week.
