Here is a link that will give you a good 8-10 links of video and articles. The CSO is probably not going to make it into next season which is really sad. I'm sorry for their frustration, and I hope the musicians can re-build quickly.

I just posted a column on Columbus here-

The musicians really deserved better from the management and Board of the CSO.

...or they deserve a better management and board.

I don't have any scintillating ideas as to how to oust a poisonous management or board, but wonder about how it might be possible to vote out unhealthy members of such. Wouldn't it be great if the organization as a whole could maintain a voting constituency for major issues? It would solve a lot of problems to be able to cast a "no-confidence" vote at particular individuals who aren't being or won't be good team players.

Maybe it really is like when the people no longer want to be governed by the aristocracy or monarchy and so they overthrow it--- a revolution ---and implement something that is more people-based, where everyone (supposedly) has a say in how things go. Perhaps not quite as drastic, but isn't it a similar model down at symphony hall? But regardless, is not the management's role representation? And if it ceases to represent, mustn't it be replaced? I mean, what is it going to take? Bringing in the police to escort out the old and bringing in a new management on its heels? When corporations fire employees, there are times when police are called in to escort them out of the building, not only when it's ugly but to prevent it from being so. Is it not criminal to unilaterally shut down an organization that is feeding and housing hundreds of families and providing services to thousands more when there are recourses to doing so, one of them being a personnel change in the office? So why not go to court? Involve the law...or petition the congressmen and women and have some made to prevent this. If it's going to be a business, even a not-for-profit one, it still needs to have guidelines and they shouldn't just be these implied understandings that are so popular among struggling organizations, one implied understanding being that which says you will let a governing body run an organization into the ground because there is no preventative measure in place to counter that.

A board is still a volunteer arena, is it not? And a management is not a personnel entourage of immutable eternities.. So perhaps if there are votes by the organization as a whole to keep these bodies in check, to sustain or replace them as needed, scenarios like this which actually threaten people's lives (yours, not theirs) stop happening...

These managements are NOT governments, people, and they should not be treated as such, even if they act like they are.
