Former leaders of Quincy nonprofit blast current board – News – The Patriot Ledger, Quincy, MA – Quincy, MA

A group of former leaders and supporters of Quincy Asian Resources has sent a blistering letter to the nonprofit’s current board of directors, criticizing the organization’s performance, financial management and lack of transparency around the recent departure of its executive director.

The letter endorsed by 17 former Quincy Asian Resources (QARI) board members, donors and volunteers was sent to the nonprofit’s board of directors earlier this month.

Gene Lee, former president of QARI’s board of directors and one of the letter’s authors, didn’t want to talk specifics when reached by phone Monday.

Wan Wu, another former QARI board of directors’ president who endorsed the letter, also said he wanted to meet with the current board before discussing the letter.

“When we received this letter from a group of community members who once played a significant role at QARI, we responded immediately, correcting some misapprehensions contained therein and inviting this group to an upcoming board meeting.

Rob Sheppard is serving as QARI’s interim executive director while the board of directors searches for Brothers’ permanent replacement.
