MAC management

Can anyone tell me, given all the high level firings at MAC, is Paul Holthus still there, or has he been fired too??

If he's been fired, who is running MAC?

Fishy,

Paul is still very much in charge and even more than ever passionate about the mission. A lot of changes have been made in order to progress Mac's mission.

Keep yourself posted....lot's of things are going on.

Best regards

Eric

I would be "even more than ever passionate about the mission" if my payacheck and expense account were on the "chopping block".

I feel MAC is in the position it is because of the current leadership, NOT becuase of the people that have left or been dismissed.......

The effort and "success" of the new mamti team speaks volumes to what we can expect now......

There will be a VERY interesting report going public soon.

Although I don't know all the circumstances, it seems getting rid of the ground troops because the mission isn't working isn't the way to go. You change the leadership, and others will follow the new mission.

I don't have the same amount of experience many here seem to have regarding MAC though!

Why is it, that I have had to request the IRS 990 Annual reports from MAC three times now. Twice by e-mail, and once by fax. They are obligated, by law, to supply these within 30 days to any written request...which includes e-mail & fax. My first request was almost 30 days ago, and the most recent by fax was a week ago.

Then when you look at their goals, at least the old ones that are available, they are all very vague with a lot of slip room. For example, what does "To raise awareness through public aquariums of conservation and the marine aquarium trade" mean, and how is it measured for success?. That's what they were doing with the MacArthur Foundation money. Or how about "to develop and undertake international multi-stakeholder process to create standards of best practice for the Live Reef Food Fish Trade", and how is it measured for success? Thank you the Packard Foundation (cha-ching).

Goals have to be measurable and realistic, or they are just words.

HUH!

HOW ABOUT ACTUAL DELIVERABLES! NOT SOFT, VAGUE GOALS!

I am going to try and do a follow-the-leader on the money trail, and then create a return on investment analysis of MAC's performance over the last three years.
