1. It sounds like WMF intends to centralize the
training and leadership development work that in recent years has largely been done by
affiliates and grantees, meaning that affiliates should probably expect budget cuts, and
individual grants that have been used for outreach work would also probably be reduced as
WMF moves to take over this type of work.
My chapter is unaware of any of this type of work that we do that will
be taken over by the Foundation and we don't believe that a single
paid position at the Foundation will somehow lead to the elimination
of any of our many events or programs in these areas. We welcome more
support from the Foundation in these areas. Could you provide a
specific example of a program by any chapter that will be absorbed
into this position?
