We are providing an update to you after the nearly 2-hour meeting with the Boards of Directors (there are more than 1 we are contending with).
First, thank you to the 5,500+ supporters who signed the petition, shared their personal stories, and attended the meeting in person. Your passion is inspiring - keep it up!
From our perspective, our goal for the meeting was:
To communicate that we are not accepting the closure
Understand who the decision makers are
Gain agreement to bring this back to the drawing board to come up with a monetary and strategic solution
We succeeded with #1 and #2, and sort of with #3 with the Chairwomen of OLMA’s Board of Directors. She agreed to present something back, but we need clarity on what and timing.
As a next step, we are hosting a Zoom call at 7pm tomorrow night. As we cannot support all 5,000 of you, we are asking for change agents to participate - those with connections to people of influence, financial and education skills who understand budgeting and planning, real estate, fundraising, legal.
Please send your name and email to Mercy.Girls.Matter@gmail.com and we will email you the meeting link.
Thank you for your continued support.
