Turkey Federation counter sues former executives web posted July 19, 2010 EDGEFIELD – The National Wild Turkey Federation has announced to its members that it has filed lawsuits against former employees and national board members who are suing the NWTF. In a letter to all state chapter presidents from CEO George Thornton dated July 6, “After very thoughtful deliberation based on information we now have in hand and with advice of legal counsel, the NWTF has filed suit against Dick Rosenlieb, Carl Brown, CJ Brown and former national Board of Directors members Michael Tull and Earl Groves.” The letter was sent to all state chapter presidents because, “We wanted you to learn of these actions from the NWTF leadership and not through the rumor mill.” Brown and Rosenlieb’s removal in 2008 also brought about the resignation of Rob Keck, who led the organization as CEO for 27 years. Keck is not a party to any of the lawsuits filed on both sides of the dispute. Brown, the former chief operating officer, and Rosenlieb, the former Vice President, filed individual suits in Edgefield against the NWTF claiming their dismissals were orchestrated and based on lies and deformation. Chief Operating Officer Carl Brown, a 28-year employee, and Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing Dick Rosenlieb with 19 years of service were dismissed in 2008. According to Thornton’s letter of July 6, the suit was filed after information was obtained since the 2008 shakeup and, “As that information was reviewed and analyzed, it became clear there were actions taken by Brown, Rosenlieb and others that were intended to harm your NWTF.” The letter continued by stating, “We believe that our lawsuit against these individuals is the responsible course of action.” The response by the NWTF was stated as coming on the heels of Brown and Rosenlieb filing new lawsuits against “certain members of our National Board of Directors. These new lawsuits, we believe, are without merit and in fact are harassing in nature,” the letter said. The lawsuits represent only one side of the parties involved. © Copyright 2010 EdgefieldDaily.com All original
