Thread: Mike Foley Ousted at USPSA

  1. #1

    Mike Foley Ousted at USPSA

    Email just dropped:

    To The USPSA Membership,

    The evening of 8/24/2021 the USPSA Board of Directors met to vote on an issue concerning the USPSA President Mike Foley. The Board of Directors, as authorized by Section 7.7 of the USPSA Bylaws, has elected to make a change in leadership.

    Effective 8/24/2021 Mike Foley has been removed as President and is no longer an employee of USPSA.

    We thank Mike for his service to USPSA and wish him well in his future endeavors.

    As per the USPSA Bylaws, Section 6.1, Sherwyn Greenfield as Vice President shall serve as Interim President effective immediately.

    This change requires the start of the process for a special election. Please watch for announcements for further details and timeline for the special election.


    There is some discussion on this on the ‘AIWB’ thread, but posting as a fresh thread for those who wish to discuss.

    Hope we elect a worthy replacement. That guy was his own worst enemy. Not every idea he had was bad, but organizations cannot grow and thrive with that sort of completely toxic personality trying to run them. Now if we can just get LaPierre out...

The focus should be on making USPSA fair, competitive, and fun for all members. As well, a major role of USPSA is to field a world class IPSC team.

    Bottom line: USPSA shouldn't be run like a for-profit business.

    Bizarre and arbitrary HHFs on classifiers, with inconsistent difficulty among divisions.

    Er, how would that be on the President though? Times related to classifiers appears very low level. Maybe I am missing something though.

    EDIT: I did not understand the multiple rapid changes in Production, or how it helped the USPSA however.

    See, I like all those things and wouldn’t have started in USPSA if it weren’t.
