As a part of my work, Geoffrey Wallace encouraged me to write, Stanley V. Anderson at times would mentor me, and there was a brilliant set of editors who helped with editorial feedback. The first year I presented on the idea, of expanding case study access by gathering a few, and putting out the call for more case studies, which did result in more coming in. I would have diligenly kept up with this process had my work not been cut short due to being asked to step forward as a whistleblower. It is only now, in reflecting, that I realize, there was manipulation at play given how a voice within the system described what it had begun, and the fact that the person who expressed an interest in becoming the ombuds who worked higher up, did indeed, step into that role. In essence it became and office, if the perceptions are accurate, that violates the very essence of ombudsmanship.
I presented at the Cal Caucus in 2002, and 2003, as I put together.
