To me it seems that Jackie came into this particular Board meeting and blindsided the Board with her news. It also seemed that she had her mind made up that the organization would close even though it had only been one day since she heard the bad news of funding cuts. From what I've read, it doesn't seem like Jackie is the turnaround type of ED, but the Board really failed the organization by not taking their responsibilities more seriously. There was no in depth discussion on ways to continue the organization or that they should meet again in a week with new ideas on what could be done. I feel this organization was decided to be closed rather abbruptly. Once Jackie gave the bad news, all the Board members seemed to give up and go along with it. It didn't seem like anyone at that meeting besides Peter was thinking about the mission or had passion for the mission.
