Honest Feedback

Who left the staff as of November 15, 2024? At least 2.

Apparently Nicole Bradley is gone. She was head of communications but she has disappeared. Her Linkedin profile does not tell us where she is now. Also gone Ayda Yurekli, who was an economist, now since november 'Independent' according to her linkedin profile. Cliff provides us agaisn with an immensely self congratularory message about his first year as President and concludes "We couldn’t have made these changes and this progress without the vision of our dedicated Board of Directors and the extraordinary effort of our immensely talented team." Immensely talented indeed. As the French would say: "on croit rêver".

Interesting article by Marc Gunther about Cliff and FSFW

Published initially in the Chronicle of Philanthropy then picked up by the Washington Post and the Seattle Times where I found it (well my dear spouse Patricia did). Sorry maybe you have to subscribe to access it :(

 

Katherine Ellen Foley, director of media for FSFW

On January 2nd it is announced on twitter that Katherine Ellen Foley becomes director of media for FSFW. On January 5th there is still no information about this nomination on the FSFW website: the staff list is dated December 12, the most recent news posted is dated December 19. Her profile when she was reporting about the FDA for Politico, very short profile on Muckrack. More personal info on Scrapfacts. Considering all the huge disinformation taking place against tobacco harm reduction, all my best wishes and maybe you'll tell us what your priorities are going to be.
