@Dodger Thank you for your response. I sincerely appreciate you taking the time to write a thorough post as I know you’re busy.
There are two quick points I want to make:
-
Quarterly Reports – I get you’re new, busy, and understaffed, but I’d think something as important as quarterly reports should be high on the list of priorities of things to do. If you don’t have a Communications Director in house to do the work, you can (1) hire a consultant/contractor to help until you find someone to fill the role or (2) split up the work between existing employees (e.g. you, the COO, and Ops Director). Reporting shouldn’t stop just because you don’t have the bandwidth to get around to it.

I’m sure you were joking, but if I was on the board, my first action would not be to make a motion to have you fired. I don’t dislike you or harbor any ill will toward you. We talked on the phone the other day, and you seem like a good guy. But more importantly, you and I are on the same team as Zcashers and, as such, our interests should (more or less) be aligned. So what I would do as a board member is try to help you run the organization better than it was run under the previous Executive Director. That ultimately benefits us both.
I will start focusing on solutions rather than the problems. If ZCAP recommends the board re-open nominations, that might provide an opportunity to get someone new on the board with a different professional background, skill set, and perspective. I think having someone on the board with a strong business acumen would be very beneficial to the Foundation in the long run.
