Note The Responsibility-Taking Active Voice
Or, a Leader Romance Fans Can Trust

While I was busy doing research, the SB,TB crew put up an interview with Gayle Wilson, the Romance Writers of America president-elect, although Wilson makes it plain "she is answering for herself, and not as a spokesperson for the RWA" when she says things like "I believe that one of the biggest problems this year has been our failure to communicate promptly and appropriately with our members...We have... made mistakes.  We regret them, and we have learned from them.  I know that simply saying that will not reassure outraged members, but I hope that by our future actions we can restore the trust that was damaged this year."

It's very exciting, though, to see the RWA's incoming leader state unequivocally that "the organization doesn’t define the genre; the genre defines the organization.  And the genre is vibrant and growing and evolving."
