[Missouri-l] No sighted E.D.

[Phyllis Lovett]

The MCB grapevine is saying that the personnel committee has selected a sighted man for the position of Executive Director.  This move would demean the goals of our organization.  If MCB board hires a sighted director, it gives the impression that we poor, stupid blind people cannot run our organization.  We have worked too many years and too hard to destroy the knowledge of the abilities and capabilities of blind people that MCB promotes.  It would not give a positive statement to other disability groups, city and state officials and other blind people.  MCB members have always been adamant about persons who are blind running our organization.  I feel having a sighted E.D. will lower the esteem of our organization.  Talk to your board members and encourage them to vote NO!  This is my opinion but many others share it.
