After posting the last few articles wtfhelena,weebly.com site was hacked. Well, after the initial investigation they site was brought back up. Will keep you posted in this issue and many other concerns of the residents of Helena West Helena.
Upon trying to find more information regarding the creation of the position Director of Programs for Phillips County, I noticed that the facebook page of Ms. Quinlen which states, "Started working for Phillips County Chamber of Commerce", has been removed. Why would something be posted then removed unless there is something to hide?
Trying to understand why the A&P Commission and the Phillips Chamber of Commerce do not post positions that come available opening the hiring process to all who are qualified. The community has lost so many young and talented people due to lack of jobs in the area. Keeping families and bringing back families to the community should be a priority.
I see Phillips County Chamber of Commerce has a new Director of Programs. I never saw this position posted or listed online, newspaper, or the Phillips County Chamber of Commerce Website that a new position was coming available.
It appears that after almost a year the Phillips County of Chamber website is working; however, I ask what has the current leadership done for Phillips County? Doug Friedlander must have been so busy to inform the community of his progress, except boasting of his past achievements and wedding this past year, to have any positive and published articles of the actual progress within the county.
Holding his own private "Shark Tank" auditions at the Chamber, neither results nor public notification to invite all to this process, promoting the Delta Bridge Helena Start Up Challenge with neither results posted nor articles on the progress of the winners, and other private promotions within the Chamber of Commerce it is a time for a Chamber of Commerce that Represents the people and businesses of Phillips County versus being a private membership/club for the small group of "friends" who are compensated for their dedication, very well I might say, by living off the poverty of the Delta.
Take control back of your community and demand accountability to ensure there is a Helena/West Helena for your children and grand children to come back home.
