USPSA President Fired

[JCSR]

To The USPSA Membership,


The evening of 8/24/2021 the USPSA Board of Directors met to vote on an issue concerning the USPSA President Mike Foley. The Board of Directors, as authorized by Section 7.7 of the USPSA Bylaws, has elected to make a change in leadership.


Effective 8/24/2021 Mike Foley has been removed as President and is no longer an employee of USPSA.

Why?

Why?

Because he wouldn't give a 2 bit low class no talent bum a ride in a golf cart.


Kind of kidding, but he has a history of flying off the handle and acting in a way some people don't like. Treating members in a way that the president of the organization probably shouldn't be doing.

Allegedly

 

[JCSR]

Why?

Abuse of power. It got worse after this.

Wow, who did the board put in charge?

 

[NHT3]

I had heard through the grapevine Mike Foley could be very combative when his power was questioned.. Looks like a good move for the USPSA

 

[NHT3]

Wow, who did the board put in charge?

Sherwyn Greenfield according to the letter?

Sherwyn Greenfield according to the letter?

Thanks.

I never paid a lot of attention to the politics of the organization. I just always asked coach who I should vote for.

Looks like "Social Media Policy" scores another hit.

The Vice President is serving as President for now. They will have a special election to fill the spot.

Strange.
In my few face to face encounters with him he was always a gentleman, most folks (me) tend to be better at self control behind the keyboard than in real time.

How much does the job pay?

Perhaps he was a keyboard commando type that knew the likelihood of getting popped in the mouth for taking that kind of attitude in real life so he kept it online?

 

[Bosshoss]

How much does the job pay?

155K as per last years financial statement.
Probably lots of perks besides that.

From what I've heard there have been a few face to face altercations also. They are just stories, but quite a few people claim to witness it.

 

[Jaybird1980]

So is @jakemartens tossing his hat in the ring for President?

 

[Twangbanger]

Yeah, come on Jake...you can handle a barrage of INGO insults for 155 smackers, no sweat.

 

[bwframe]

Jake probably worked a better deal than that for his current position.

Who would want all the grief that comes with the pres job? Maybe Grelber?
