Short Description of Activity
In a surprise move, BDC published Clint’s LTE. Within hours FB page was cloned. Nancy and I responded, were blocked. Contact Thomas. He was stunned as was I. I sent out press releases per plan.
Reflection/Evaluation
While I had shared press release at last GYWA meeting, Doug, Nancy didn’t feel they had commented/edited thoroughly. Joseph’s comment was ‘superb’, Glenn had me add a bit about wildlife, George added a sentence. At the next GYWA meeting, members were unhappy I’d sent press release out unedited, even though at the previous meeting, comments were made, added. I was confused, frustrated, and angry. Ran it by Katie. She aptly said they thought I was going ‘rogue’. Except there is no process in place for editing. It is time consuming (takes a month – too long to wait for a press release to accompany BDC LTE.) Jim read it, thought it was fine. No one covered it anyway.
