The Worthy Adversary

I have remained quiet on the subject of the changes in SNAP, the Survivors Network.
This is because I have been very deeply involved in the recent transition in leadership, our refocus and change in messaging, and the shift from an organization with two founders in power to an organization with a working board, a managing director, and a core of passionate volunteers getting things done.
But after yet another recent article where, once again, the script was that the organization is facing an “uncertain future,” I have decided that it is time to shift the narrative and allow SNAP to own its story.
Yes, founder Barbara Blaine and executive director David Clohessy left the organization. But their departure had been in the works since the fall of 2016.
Let’s face it: No organization should be run by its founders for decades. It’s called “Founder’s Flounder” or “Founder’s Syndrome.”
We all knew it was time for change.
