Very focused on corporations rather than volunteers and membership. Their HQ team is beyond aweful. Their HQ staff are often condecending to members, focused glorifying themselves, and not in touch with uplifitng volunteers and membership. It's all about awards, PR, and expansion. If they fired the staff and replaced the Board with people with more experience they would be much better for it.
