Hello to all FOG members. My name is Leonard DeLayo, and I have been appointed as the new Executive Director for your Foundation. I appreciate the appointment by the Board of Directors and am encouraged, as well as excited, to build upon the Foundation established by Bob Johnson and others.
Together I think we can take this Foundation from its current position into one that is sustainable, credible, and forceful in its efforts to impact public policy as well as protect, preserve and advance the right of the public to information and open government.
In my opinion, this Foundation is only as strong as its membership, and therefore I hope to work, with your assistance and cooperation, to expand our membership to become more broadly based, inclusive and representative of our New Mexico community.
As we proceed with the transition, there may be some difficulties in service, responses from me as Executive Director, as we have encountered some degree of difficulty in the transition. I hope each of you will understand as we proceed through this process.
The physical location of the New Mexico Foundation for Open Government will be at 817 Gold Avenue, SW, Albuquerque, New Mexico 87102. We hope to maintain the same e-mail address; however, that is questionable. The telephone number may change, and the 1-800 number may change. However, we are still in the process of reviewing and investigating those alternatives.
In the meantime I can be reached at 843-9121, which in all probability will become the FOG telephone number.
As we complete these transitions, establish permanent telephone lines, hotlines, e-mail addresses, I will keep you informed. In the meantime I am proud to carry on the work of this Foundation, Bob Johnson, and its founders.
Sincerely,
Leonard J. DeLayo, Jr.
