Posted on: Board chief of strapped orchestra quits in anger

jfnance32 should just BUTT OUT and wish the orchestra good luck. Even BLW did. Stop trying to focus on the negative and as everyone's mother told every child, if you don't have something nice to say, DON'T SAY ANYTHING AT ALL.

The musicians were "very favorable and supportive" ??? - what planet is she on? The musicians I've spoken to said that NOT ONE PERSON said a word, out of restraint and decent courtesy, in response to BLW when she spoke to the orchestra. That is NOT supportive or favorable. Quite the opposite. Every single musician voted for her removal. Without them, this city does not have an orchestra, and they all saw the harm she was doing to this great organization. Everyone should be supporting them, as they bring a high level of musical talent to this wonderful city.

But when you put into the equation the vastly more numerous Board members that quit due to BLW's "profound" leadership (her words), it far outweighs whatever money she gave to the organization. She hired, without providing all the pertinent details to the Board, a staff member far out of the range of what the group could afford, and then had to backtrack by offering to pay for part of the salary. The woman was not a good leader from what I have heard-and it was past time for her to go. Now many former Board members are probably going to return, so her removal is going to help, not hurt the organization.
