To Mr. Richard A. Smith Charman, CEO and President
Realogy Holdings Corp., Madison, N.J.
Hello Mr. Smith:
This is an open email which seeks to win your attention to efforts of citizens of Westhampton Beach to bring about needed reforms to the Westhampton Library, on whose board Corcoran agent Karen Andrews sits.
Citizens seek to replace the appointed library board with an elected board. Vice President of the board is Corcoran associate Andrews. That is the second highest post on the board. Her email is the only board member’s available to the public and that is because she is an employee of a local business.
The local town government and local school boards provide emails of their members.
There is great discontent with the management of the library as shown by the recent election of the first union at the library in more than 100 years.
Citizens, including myself, have been unable to get the library board to meet in the evening when far more citizens could attend. The board has yet to agree that it should be replaced by an elected board. Citizens were angered Oct. 14 when they showed up at 9:30 a.m. expecting a library board meeting only to be told it had been cancelled the night before. Another meeting has been set for Oct. 30 at 9:30 a.m.
I don’t think these developments reflect well on the Corcoran name or the Realogy name. Maybe it is something Realogy will not be concerned with.
If you are concerned, I hope you will contact me. So far I have been unable to set up a dialogue with any communications executives of Realogy or Corcoran.
Cordially,
Jack O’Dwyer, Publisher and Editor
