Yes, John, that’s actually what we will be discussing. I certainly agree that there are a lot of great non profits, and the tribes, doing solid work, on a local/regional basis. But we need to know what we lost, and think about who will fill the gaps. There was work that P4PS was doing that was rather unique. First I want people to understand what was unique, then discuss what gaps need to be filled. That’s the agenda for today, but we’ll see how the interview flows.Phil is quite a smart guy and great interviewer.
Instead of leaving it at “what might not now get done,” it sounds like maybe you have a platform for creating additional conversations that includes the remaining relevant organizations and discuss how this ecosystem of organizations can adapt to the current situation and fill in the gaps to do the best possible job of making/keeping our waters healthy?
Discussion between whom? Just you and Phil or ??? I’m guessing that “what the end of People for Puget Sound means for the Olympic Peninsula” will include the implications for the many relevant organizations, their work load, and the health of Puget Sound. Will these other organizations be included in the discussion?
Yes, Phil and I. Yes. I intend to discuss these very issues. People For Puget Sound did not operate in a vacuum, nor was it a “god like” organization. It simply was an umbrella organization that helped support a great variety of local NGOs. It was not without it’s faults. We will not try and make nominate it for sainthood, simply try to clarify what it accomplished,why it was important, and what might not now get done.
