[quote=Anonymous]Kathy,

We appreciate your interest. The INA problems being raised on this board are not about educational opportunities. No one disagrees with the benefits of continuing education for all.

The issue is that the INA is supposed to be a nanny organization, not a self-promoting agency marketing scam.

The INA is supposed to be the International Nanny Association. If you are not a nanny, why are you sitting on the board of this group? Why are you even a member?
www.nanny.org

How many nannies are on the board of your nanny agency organization?
www.theapna.org

Zero. Why?

You don't even allow nanny or family membership, let alone be on the board. Why?

Please explain your "no nannies or families allowed" policy, in your own association, but demand to control the "nanny" organization?

Why no equal "balance"?

1. Non-nannies should step down from the INA board. Until you do, there is no hope for any real advocacy for nannies and the families they care for. The priority of agency business owners, is their profits. This is a distinct conflict of interest with nannies and families, who strive to provide the best possible childcare. Few, if any, agency owners have any significant training or extensive experience in childhood development, beyond their own families. Many agency owners are smart business people who recognized a lucrative business opportunity. Some are even attorneys and MBA's who capitalized on the naive nature of nannies and parents in disparate need of childcare.

2. Your own exclusive nanny agency club, should open its membership to nannies and families. If you want to maintain your membership and voting privileges in the International Nanny Association, you should extend the same options for nannies and families in APNA.

Also, it would be worthwhile for you to disclose the current breakdown of the INA membership. What are the current numbers for:

1. Nanny Agencies and other businesses

2. Actual Nannies

INA was started originally started by a group of nannies before it got over run by agency business owners, from what I understand. Let it return to being, what its name says:

The International Nanny Association
