Ask them how many professional sports events they have watched/attended/supported in the last year ... hopefully they can discern between bad actors and an entire activity. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The structure of the activity has permitted and encouraged leadership by people who make their own decisions based on their own intuition. You're talking about institutionalizing it at the DCI level. Fine, I get it. Who, now, among the other directors, is sufficiently above suspicion and/or reproach that they will be accepted as a Board chair? And, if they aren't allowed to act on their own intuition, meaning they have to get approval from the other director BoD members, is DCI just simply allowing a different set of foxes in to run the hen house? So, we shrug our shoulders and dejectedly say, "they all do it". There's nothing to be done? I don't buy that. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't suggest that at all. The point is: Is there ANY corps director that would have support at board chair? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What will likely affect them is the cost that each corps must bear to institutionalize and implement the new structure, and this is where the pushback will be focused, IMO. well they can ##### about costs, or they can suck it up and hope they don't get a subpoena 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No.. that guy will be busy in an industry that designs automobile license plates. Hope he's ok with the traditional uniforms they wear there. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But...pro sports are NOT labeled as a youth activity. So let's cut the semantics here. Pro sports are paid athletes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
