Leslie Varnicle, State Director of Colorado
Marilyn Carlson, State Director of Oklahoma
Christine Dickey, State Director of Arizona
Elaine Douglass, State Director of Utah
Most of these women have been members of MUFON for over 20 years and were given no explanation. As pointed out in the email:
Leslie Varnicle, State Director of Colorado and a
41-year-member of MUFON, was fired by CLIFFORD CLIFT. Many of you have
seen Leslie's tireless work at the MUFON annual symposia. She was head
of a vibrant state chapter with more than 160 members and a $20,000
kitty. She was the originator of the webinar concept in MUFON; she spent
thousands of dollars of her own money for equipment for her state; she
is a MUFON "Benefactor."
While I suppose MUFON doesn't have to give a reason for firing State Directors, I doubt it will attract new people hoping to be one with that type of attitude. I would never even want to be a journal subscriber again.
I also noted that Elaine Douglass is part of the Editorial Board of JAR. Possibly that doesn't fit with MUFON's agenda.
ADD: I just found that Lon has the entire letter posted.

This wholesale Saturday night massacre of females from leadership positions in an _increasingly_ irrelevant MUFON is unconscionable, inconsolably unaccountable, and wholly contemptible!!! Outrageous!
