I had a look at the BCNA material on the CEO and it contains this statement:
” Kirsten believes members are at the heart of BCNA”.
I find that what has occurred here does not accord with that statement.
There was no survey of members prior to making these major changes ( and as others have said, they will impact the most vulnerable members) .
Furthermore, the statement about the phone calls not needing a nurse appears to have been plucked out of the air and not in accordance with the emails on this thread.
I know my own phone call with Giovanna seeking advice about my possible double mastectomy and reconstruction was very much informed by her experience and knowledge as a breast cancer nurse and was invaluable.
I don’t think a series of one on one phone calls where the aim is to silence the members with the energy to raise this issue, I think there needs to be a proper formal consultation with the members.
Also ,the Board know about this?
