Due to three years of budget shortfalls, the NAACP will be cutting its staff from 119-70 and temporarily closing seven of its regional offices.

According to the Associated Press, Dennis Hayes, the chief executive officer states, “We are right-sizing our organization to meet present circumstances. We had the unexpected departure of our CEO at a time when we were already without a chief development officer. So, understandably, we have to regenerate our revenue machine, our fund-raising machine, to get us to where we should have been.”
