The new GAMA Board of Directors has hit rough waters already, after being appointed a month ago, and has lost two members. According to the press release sent yesterday (see below), Ryan Dancey has resigned as Treasurer of GAMA after revealing that he had been reading private emails from the GAMA Board of Directors email list for months before running for office. Confidence in the rest of the new board is severely lacking right now, as most of the new appointees were perceived to have run alongside Dancey, who could have provided inside information.
As if to add fuel to rumors already being flung, another press release arrived this afternoon, stating that Chris Watson, GAMA Managing Director since late last year, has been “laid off due to a reorganization of GAMA.” And yet, the position is still deemed necessary, as “Anthony Gallela, GAMA’s Operations Director has been appointed Interim Managing Director until the board of directors can hire a new Executive Director.” Curiouser and curiouser.
