I'm not sure what to think. A lot has changed since 2009 and it is upsetting to see that the organization is crippled by this deficit. If I were independently wealthy, I'd contribute all I could to help this cause. Legion of Tech was/is an incredible organization. I’m not sure what to think.

I do think the ball was really dropped on rebuilding the reputation of the LoT with the very subtle way that Todd was removed. It should have been a total open and transparent resolution rather than trying to minimize things. Then again I discussed this when it happened. I hope that in the future the Legion can come back with redoubled and refocused efforts on promoting technology events. I had a lot of fun with the Legion and made some lasting friendships via the board. I'm sad to see it go but have hope that in the future things will look up. Sucks to hear it.

This didn't happen on her watch, but she's the one who stepped up to clean up the mess. That is a lot of time and stress she isn't getting back. [Note from Christie: I removed some comments from Jason about the specifics of our agreement with Todd.] And thanks especially to Christie for dealing with the thankless work that Todd’s embezzlement has created for the organization.

It's been a tough year. You mentioned "a number of checks and balances" which have been implemented. Will those be enumerated in a future blog entry, or are they currently implemented in the bylaws?
