A “hat tip” to Florida’s WFLA Channel 8’s Gayle Guyardo for looking into the dysfunction and deceit present in the leadership of SPCA Tampa Bay. Guyardo interviewed both ex-volunteers and CEO Martha Boden. Watch her interview, the first in a planned series of updates on SPCA/Tampa Bay.
Our contacts in Pinellas County Florida report that Boden’s claim that “…we have reached out to some of the volunteers… and asked if they wanted to meet and so far they haven’t responded,” is blatantly false.
The SPCA/TB Board of Directors has allowed and endorsed Boden’s initiative to increase spending on marketing, development, and high-level staff salaries and say goodbye to everyone else, including thousands of animals. They are:
Marilyn Hulsey, President
Lyndy Jennings, VP – Development
Jonathan Browy, VP – Governance
Jim McGinty, Treasurer and Finance Chair
Erin E. Banks, Esq., Secretary
Chris Allen
Michele Egerter
Jessica Eilerman
Mark Martukovich
Tara Miller
John Ralph, Jr., CPA
