Subject: affiliation communication

Greetings,

 

I have a couple of updates related to the affiliation. First of all the TAG met for the first time and we have decided to take turns leading/coordinating these meetings, including a written report that will be shared with both boards. Gayle will be writing the report from the first meeting; she hopes to have that done this week. In the meantime, I’m sure you are wondering about the affiliation vs parent/subsidiary discussion. One of Barb’s primary concerns with a parent/subsidiary relationship is typically the parent org is the one who would decide whether to continue or discontinue the relationship/affiliation. It was agreed that BOTH orgs will have that ability. We are meeting August 15th to review an affiliation agreement that Barb is drafting and address more specific questions that she will bring to that meeting.  

 

A letter and FAQ will be sent to members tomorrow at 11:30 am and a letter will go to stakeholders at 2 pm. I will forward the member packet to the board as soon as I have the final version (tomorrow am, at the latest); there will be an “embargo” message on it, indicating that it is going out at 11:30 am. The two board chairs have signed the member letter and Gayle/myself are signing the stakeholder letter. Barb Blumer has also reviewed the letter and FAQ, from a legal perspective.

 

Please Note: we are using the “strategic affiliation” language that was approved by the two boards. This is not a merger and I urge you to cautiously utilize the language, as it has been provided. Thanks so much for your help in communicating accurately with our members! Also, please let me know what, if any questions, you receive. We are trying to track that, should we need to send out follow-up communication.
