The Newfields drama continues…sadly. Perhaps, for me, the most telling elements of recent events would be the resignation of members of the Board of Governors. Different from the Board of Directors, who carry the responsibility of oversight of the museum operation and the CEO, the Board of Governors are the group that oversee and advise and ENSURE, the Board of Directors are acting in accordance with their responsibilities.
When notable members of the Board of Governors start resigning stating what some have described as a “lack of transparency” by the Board of Directors, then Newfields has entered a new and dangerous territory of governance.
While there is, for me a certain understanding of “not being able to state the reasons” for the departure of CEO Burnette, the Board of Directors, by NOT sharing those reasons with the Board of Governors is unacceptable.
Individuals serving in these capacities of trust and confidentiality are expected and held to account for breaches of that trust. Simply refusing to share the facts of this matter with the Board of Governors only exacerbates the already heavy veil of mistrust that is now surrounding a very weakened and ineffective Newfields Board.
With four (4) members of the Board of Governors having resigned, it is now clear that the Board of Directors sees their leadership as being omnipotent. Very sad.
One needs to refer to the articles, by-laws, rules and regulations that govern the bodies to understand the relationship. The members of the bodies have the right to leave if they desire. Use a base of facts for the comments rather than hype. This organization started small many years ago and has evolved. Just like the Zoo.
Not sure where the “hype” is, necessarily. I certainly don’t dispute (nor would I) any members of the bodies having a right to leave. I respond more to their stated reasons for leaving which cause me concern. Reasons like “lack of transparency”. Those are the reasons provided (in some cases). Not hype…just facts.
The best solution to this dumpster fire would be to bring back Dr. Burnette and the resignation of the Newfields Board Chair. Reading the tea leaves indicates the Chair is responsible for this and where all this started. This is doing serious damage to the institution.
What a cluster. I have no idea what happened, but it is obviously a dysfunctional organization with poor leadership throughout. Time to close it down.
Maybe if they ask nicely Venable will come back. He was one of the best things to happen to the IMA.
Rhea +1
Has it become public information yet that the black chair of the board fired the black CEO without the authority to do so which triggered her massive severance clause? And they are too embarrassed to admit this publicly which is why the board keeps resigning until Darrianne resigns?
Newfields should just throw her under the bus, rebuild the board, and we can all move on
