A divided alumni is not going to do Jack. The Alumni needs to be brought back together. I believe there was a seat on the board for an Alum. I know there was! Then there has to be specific things laid out for the Alums to work as a unit. I know logistically it wont happen, But bring the Scouts home to Madison, Wisconsin. Get the community back behind them. Build your contributors locally. Or start saying the truth and be from Indiana and go after local there. Set some roots. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a fair statement Chris( is that your name- if not sorry) though I do believe it cuts both ways. My interaction with current admin and staff have been limited due to where I live; however, when I have interacted f-t-f I was treated with either a mild neglect or outright “you’re an alumnus? So what don’t care” by both staff and sr. corps mgmnt. I’d chalked it up to the late July/early August “tour burnout” that can creep in. The more I’ve read-talked to other alumni in the last couple years it has become my opinion that this is more a reflection of the sentiment “ we just want your money and not a conversation with you” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
