Rileydog Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 I don’t guess I understand why at this juncture a new board and director couldn’t be found in time for Pioneer to tour in 2019. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mingusmonk Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 I would suspect that DCI has learned during its investigation, which started this summer, that Pioneer Has some limitations or issues with resources that would not allow it to operate a complete season in a manner that is being required. Regardless of who is on the board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would they need some type of board structure to keep their bingo operation legit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I 100% agree with this!!! i don’t understand why at all they would do this in August, so many changes can Be done before the season. If the cadets cAn do it eith one month they can do it now! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gregory11 Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 I believe they need time to locate those 2nd or 3rd cousins to fell those new positions. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess would be that it's not just finding a board that's the issue, it's fixing the other problems that would currently still affect the corps if they were to tour in 2019, including hiring an entirely new medical staff (to replace the nonexistent previous staff) and getting functional tour buses. The money for that needs to come from somewhere, and I don't know if Pio has significant extra resources at the moment. Also (unrelatedly), if they come back in 2020 would it be as an Open Class corps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of who is on the board. This would be my first guess. Between the buses, cost of administrative personnel, and medical staff, they likely would need to have more revenue generated than what they showed the last few years.
