Winograd's Advice on Finding a Successor

I emailed Nathan that Boks had resigned and asked his advice on how the LA animal community should proceed. He responded as follows, with an advice we need to acknowledge:

You should ask for a citizens committee made up of the animal welfare groups to interview and recommend the next director. The committee should have veto power over who gets hired. A man/woman of the people by the people for the people (and the animals).But this position is too important to leave to the Mayor and his cronies.

If you agree we need to do something other than tear ourseleves apart trying to influence the Mayor to pick our choice, and you want to help me organize such a committee, or be on such a committee and lobby both the Mayor and Council that this is a way to go that probably would take the heat off the Mayor and the Council by making the GM a "peoples' choice, then leave a comment of support or advice or contact me privately at edwardmuzika@sbcglobal.net.
