The Amputee Coalition is undergoing another major transition with the resignation of President & CEO Cass Isidro, who announced her last day will be August 22nd. In her farewell message, Isidro stated that her work had been about “restoring the Amputee Coalition to its original purpose with deeper community engagement.”
That statement raises difficult questions:
👉 Why did the Coalition need to be “restored” in the first place?
👉 Has the organization lost focus on directly serving amputees?
👉 What does this leadership change mean for peer support, advocacy, and resources moving forward?
In this episode of We’re Not Stumped, host Mike Bolland dives into the resignation news, shares community concerns, and examines whether the Amputee Coalition is truly on track to support the limb loss and limb difference community—or if amputees should be worried about its direction.
Listeners are invited to join the conversation as the podcast takes on tough questions about the Coalition’s mission, leadership, and future.
