Miss america group asks former winners help reform email scandal
A recent development in the Miss America organization!
According to reports, the Miss America organization has reached out to former winners of the pageant to help reform the organization in the wake of the email scandal that led to the resignation of CEO Regina Hopper and other top executives.
The email scandal, which was revealed in January, involved the use of private email accounts by top executives to conduct official business, as well as allegations of bullying and intimidation by some executives towards employees and contestants.
In an effort to rebuild trust and restore the organization's reputation, the Miss America board of directors has asked several former winners to join a special advisory committee to help guide the organization's reform efforts.
The committee, which is expected to be composed of 10-15 former winners, will provide input and guidance on issues such as governance, leadership, and communication. The committee will also help develop a new code of conduct and ethics policy for the organization.
Some of the former winners who have been approached to join the committee include:
- Gretchen Carlson, Miss America 1989 and a prominent advocate for women's rights and anti-harassment efforts
- Mallory Hagan, Miss America 2013 and a vocal critic of the organization's handling of the email scandal
- Nina Davuluri, Miss America 2014 and a strong advocate for diversity and inclusion
- Kira Kazantsev, Miss America 2014 and a vocal supporter of the organization's efforts to reform
The committee is expected to meet regularly with the Miss America board of directors and other stakeholders to provide guidance and oversight as the organization implements its reform efforts.
It's a positive step forward for the Miss America organization, and it's great to see former winners taking an active role in helping to rebuild the organization's reputation and ensure a brighter future for the pageant.
