Betrayal of the Public Servant with Daniel Rosemond | Ep. 16

We discuss the different types of betrayal former Hallandale Beach city manager Daniel Rosemond encountered throughout his ordeal in this third and final installment of our interview series.

We talk about the following:

• Self-betrayal by way of our own self-delusions about our relationship and standing with our organizations as city managers
• Betrayal by community leaders, friends, and colleagues
• Betrayal by members of the governing body
• Betrayal by the International City/County Management Association (ICMA) and other state and local professional associations

You will learn that the Florida League of Cities, an organization that prides itself on supporting good governance, has joined forces with Hallandale Beach and supporting its appeal of Daniel Rosemond's court awarded judgment for wrongful termination. See a copy of their amicus curiae brief below.

You will learn that there are conflicts of interest that exist between state municipal leagues and state-ICMA chapters -- and guess what -- the city managers are coming out on the losing end.

And you will learn that when Rosemond reached out to the ICMA in his time of need, the organization ghosted him and never responded to him.

SHOW NOTES:
