President's Message

Hello Everyone.

As most of you know, the meetings of CFSIC’s Board of Directors are not open to the public.

I believe that we have an obligation to the directors of CFSIC to permit them to express their views at board meetings, to debate the facts, to come to good unanimous conclusions after all the facts are laid on the table...and to do that without fear or concern of something ending up in social media about them that simply isn’t the truth.

Other than the privacy of the Board’s meetings...CFSIC is the most transparent of organizations. What’s up on “Useful Links” is all our financial information...where the money goes, and why it goes there.

On March 24, we lost a valued board member in Don Poulin. He passed away suddenly at home. His loss is great.

When you are Chairman of the Board of Directors of any organization, you must be even-handed. You must hear all sides to a question. You must be able to help the Board as a whole make a good decision to the best of their and your ability.

Making good decisions was easy for Don Poulin. He just always did the right thing. He had been a victim of the crumbling foundations crisis, and when he spoke it was from experience, and with authority as well as compassion.Sincerely,

Steve Werbner
President, CFSIC
