Whomever it is, I hope it's the best person they can find for the job.

Absolutely; because if one has an IQ higher than a houseplant...or actually lives in the real world there will ALWAYS be those that sit waiting for their moment. One only needs to look at the posts with people even threatening and/or doxing people just talking. Including things that have ZERO to do with non-profit non-compliance. The word you are looking for is malfeasance. My motives (if any) are for there to be an SCV without the sneaking around by some trying to get their hands on power for their own motives. With what I have seen from this thread alone I would heavily suggest they DON'T cave and open everything up (to everyone) until it's fixed THEN come out and show what happened. The only good by showing everything right now, is open an endless can of worms. Fix it with good people that are capable, reliable and trustworthy and have SCV's(kids) interests at heart (background checks would be great). Hold the people responsible for this mess if there is a lawsuit based on said malfeasance, THEN come out and explain everything. I've seen first hand what a small group of negative people seeking their 15 minutes can do to an organization. Not pretty.

I love those...not. You are just about to leave it and one person starts asking questions that were fully covered.

Why do YOU assume it's an "axe to grind"? I noticed that you jumped to that immediately rather than the other option I offered. That seems telling in and of itself.

You aren't wrong. Going to take moving mountains at this point. Been there done that on a smaller scale including a liquor license that lapsed for the non-profit (big time one here that dwarfs non-profit). Going to be a LOT of driving to places of government and sitting in offices.

Yes and no. There are people that have an axe to grind and people that actually mean to help. That's why when you see weakness like SCV has shown, the big ugly side comes out in force. BTW this isn't just an SCV thing to be clear. This is an ugly human thing that pervades everywhere.

Well, to be fair, safety before band show.

Wrong. Doing their job would have kept this from happening. Transparency has zero to do with being compliant. Hopefully the people working on this are getting the job done. Time will tell.

1. I don't know if it has much to do about "change" as it does just doing the job or jobs. Not keeping up with the stuff whether non-profit or C/S corp. will come out to bite you. Good organizations need to elect competent people. NOTHING kills an org. put on auto pilot by a GOOD previous admin will crash and burn not keeping up with the basics. 2. Is always an option but usually a bad one. Worse is when it's forced by an outside influence that is a power play. I have seen this tear apart good organizations and kill friendships. Always ends up being about someone rather than what's best for the organization. When you are weak these people will pounce and you better be ready for it and not cave or you will be back peddling and never have peace no matter how good you are at fixing it.

Problem is: EVEN if they do everything that DCI requires, it won't be enough for some with other agendas.

Think you are right. But who knows.

The rectangle one that fit perfectly in the tray right? 🙂

Won't work. Food industry is a different beast. Plus, depending where you are you will be limited on what is available supply-wise. But hey, I only dealt in the industry for 15 years so what do I know? Better to try and get them to donate food. But, food places have like zero issues for write offs on waste and spoilage alone. Also better to try and get like Goya, Albertsons etc to donate.

Shhh not the "C" word!

Sam's Club meat prices are amazing in bulk. Even when we had the catering business no one beat them.

As someone that worked for decades in the food business, that at the levels individuals (corps) are buying from food services you are getting the best deals already. The margin on food is so tight when you buy from these places there isn't anywhere to go. I don't know of ANY corps that doesn't know these things. The people running food SHOULD have certs in food safety. I mean that's the law.

I doubt this. Some have a vested interest at this point that they fail. It's sad. If and when they disclose they would be well served to NOT engage with these people that have zero interest in there being an SCV.

I beg to differ. These services have been around forever. GFS, Restarant Depot, even Sam's Club. Anyone qualified to be making meals for people knows of these places.

Ya, the whole vertical race seems like a lawsuit waiting to happen. Honestly, I get more enjoyment from performing, playing and marching than watching how much money someone has wasted on props. I feel like the activity has slid backwards from the 2006-2015 era relying too much on "props" vs show and content. The fact we are now sacrificing performance time to carry stuff on and off the field speaks to this. Not only that but and entire other vehicle to cart around stuff you use for one year is so wasteful. I can't believe some green group hasn't protested the activity yet.

Worst advice ever. Just don't. You will have huge bills wondering why you did this.

Not a First Amendment Issue.

We have a winner here.

How about giving them a chance before the nonsense here? I know we live in the age of instant gratification but ffs a few weeks at least before all the negative?

Animal Farm? 😛
