The opaqueness spoken about here concerning finances and day-to-day operations is frustrating. We have not made much progress there from asking for transparency and access to documents. That is highly suspicious, imo.

It is an opaque, closed company with no accountability and terms of office in perpetuity. We need a movement to call for an election based leadership with fixed terms and transparency.

In fact, one can argue his level of willful ignorance is oxymoronic to the ABIM's claim that they ABIM governance needs to Transform.http://www.abim.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18943510.post-76004460506686233932016-03-09T11:51:54.968-06:002016-03-09T11:51:54.968-06:00Congratulations.
