I was filling in that year for the Bridgemen's regular announcer, who couldn't make the gig. I figured I'd trot out my best "Bayonne Banana Yellow" shirt.

However, given the current volatile environment in DCI, this just doesn't make good sense. If Morrison either resigned on his own or was forced to resign (from the DCI BoD), how is he still director of the Crossmen? Doesn't a resignation in this situation indicate wrong doing on his part? OK...back to being a spectator. one may be finalized. the other may not be yet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cathy Black, one of the three unaffiliated Directors, is the new Chair, which marks the first time a non-corps director has been in that position. this i think is long overdue 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While nothing potentially criminal ( that we know of) like in the YEA situation, it's a PR disaster, even in a right wing state like Texas Edited May 18, 2018 by Jeff Ream 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartans87 Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Well, a non-corps director as Chair of the BoD is a great start at changing the way DCI operates. I have always (and I mentioned earlier in this thread) said that DCI being here by the corps and for the corps makes for a difficult business setup. A very closely held, controlled business environment to say the least. Maybe, just maybe, we are seeing some of the changes that could possibly help the entire activity not just survive beyond us old folks, but thrive! And no, I am not wearing my rose colored glasses here. I am just taking an optimistic view for now. They still have a huge amount of work ahead of them, and many more difficult subjects/areas to change. It wont be easy, but I like the start. Just horrible that it had to start as a result of horrible behavior by some of the adult leaders. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If true, DCI will also have had its 1st Chairperson of the DCI Board of Directors that is a Women. I don't believe Mary Pesceone served as Chair in the early years of DCI. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually though, the political bent of a region, state, city is irrelevant to any of this as a potential PR disaster, imo.
