Re: Health Action 8/3/01

This is to inform you you that effective immediately, Health Action will be hosted solely by Nicholas Cimorelli. Bob Lederer has similarly been informed. However, you may continue to host Heart of Mind on Mondays from 8pm to 9pm with the following conditions:

• You will develop a concise program description and once reviewed and accepted, stick to it. That is to say, extraneous matters that do not pertain to the intent of your program are outside of its scope.
• If the program in any way strays from its mission with the intent to inspire listeners to go against the will of current management, and if you as host do the same, the program will be cancelled and you will be off the air. You will receive no further warning about this.
• You will observe all practices associated with ethical journalism, that is, thorough preparation as host on the subject matter, disclosure, where applicable, balance, fairness, and a strong effort to serve the informational needs of our listeners.
• Enthusiastic participation in our fundraising events.

If you agree to abide by these conditions, you may proceed with the program. If not, please advise as soon as possible.

(And another memorable memo...)
Visioning Workshop for Leadership and "Followership"
highlights and articulates the importance of those who "follow" the leader and understand the rules for engaging in active and productive followership. This workshop teaches the rules of productive hierarchy and creates an environment for leaders to elicit participation and ownership of the mission and vision.

Memo from Utrice Leid to WBAI Staff, May 2 2001, detailing "Twenty-First Century Workshops" led by WBAI producer Carletta Joy Walker and strongly recommended to staff.
