Seed Saver's Exchange??? What's going on there??

Hi, all,

I was just sent an e-mail with this 4 page letter about the recent dismissal of the long-time executive director and co-founder of the Seed Saver's Exchange (SSE)? The letter is full of details about the dismissal. The action by the board sounds very harsh and detrimental to the future of this wonderful organization.

I am wondering if anyone has any other information that might shed some light on the motivation for these changes?

If you would like to know more about the work of this organization, here is the homepage link:

Here is the link to Amy Goldman's blog/website. She is the President of the Board and according to the letter-- http://www.rareforms.com/

I think the membership of SSE should learn some details of the SSE re-organization, don't you?

to behonest - I'm confused and have absolutely no idea what that is all about. Does someone have a cliff notes on the subject?

Wow--I just read the whole thing--surely, surely there is more to the story? What in the world is going on? Anyone?

Here's the Heirloom Veggie thread that offers some background--
