Hey guys,
Here's another article from Southern Sporting Journal that sheds some more light on what is going on.
If you were one of the hundreds of thousands of National Wild Turkey Federation volunteers wondering what really happened March 25 when longtime executives Carl Brown and Dick Rosenlieb were dismissed, get ready"”the truth is about to come out. Well, maybe.
The two men filed suit last week in the Edgefield County Court of Common Pleas requesting a jury trial to hear their claims that their dismissals were the result of a "śwell orchestrated smear campaign"ť that involved false allegations and defamation.
The day after their firings, NWTF CEO Rob Keck, who has held the position for the past 27 years, announced his resignation citing "śhealth and family reasons."ť When pressed on whether his announcement had anything to do with Brown"™s and Rosenlieb"™s dismissals, he replied, "śLet me just say that I am not allowed to comment on personnel matters."ť His resignation takes effect June 1.
But the timing was unmistakable. Sources close to the matter say the board knew Keck would likely step down if two of his lieutenants were sent packing, suggesting that the firings may have even served as a less combative manner in which to get the CEO to leave and install a virtually all new leadership team.
