I know Bob Rosand and trust his judgement without question. If he felt strongly enough about what he was told that it caused him to resign as a contributing editor and then go so far as to post about it, then I believe there's more than just an unfounded rumor floating around.
For one or more to arbitrarily remove our logo or graphic of our logo if you prefer, from the cover of our journal with no explanation until all of this occurs is unacceptable. That behavior simply fueled this.
As for the explanation that the removal "gave the magazine a more streamlined and contemporary look".......please.
I also wonder if the removal was discussed beforehand with the entire BOD as well as the Executive Director, the person that we hired to run the association on a daily basis. To me the removal of an organization's logo from the cover of it's journal is more than putting "your stamp on it". Further I have to question the motives of it's removal as putting "one's stamp on it".
As for someone starting this "rumor" to cause a riff within the organization, there are other things occurring that are causing a problem within the organization and they're not rumors, go to chapter meetings, regional symposia, talk to members and listen to them..........there are indeed problems.
