Since its inception, IMPACT
Chicago has operated as a network of people working independently and
collaboratively to bring self-defense to women and girls in the Chicago area.
In May 2012, we hired Julie Curtis as Executive Director. It has not been an
easy decision for her to make, but Julie resigned November 6. She handled her resignation
as she did her work as Executive Director -- with commitment, professionalism
and integrity. Though her role will change, Julie plans to stay involved
with IMPACT Chicago.
Julie offered her
insight that the job description of Executive Director does not reflect how
IMPACT Chicago actually works. The Board of Directors is examining ways to create
an administrative approach where there is a stronger fit between our formal
organization and the work being done. At its December meeting, the Board of
Directors will discuss a
proposal for addressing the issues Julie raised. In the meantime, almost all of
our ongoing work is being temporarily covered. If you have questions or
concerns, please email Lisa Amoroso, Board Secretary, who has volunteered to be
the point-person for directing people to the best person to answer specific
questions. You can reach Lisa at board@impactchicago.org.
