WarriorHal Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 (edited) DCI's statement: Pioneer leadership informed DCI that it is moving immediately to replace all current members of the Pioneer board of directors along with selecting a new director for the corps. DCI will hold a follow-up meeting with corps leadership next week to discuss further terms of the organization’s suspension. Who is Pioneer leadership? The current BOD -- the news article says four of the six members are Blenski family members -- is being replaced, and director Roman Blenski is also out. But neither the news article nor DCI statement identifies the corps' leadership that is making these changes. I thought the BOD & the director were the leadership, but apparently not. Confusing.

corps8294 Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Unless they come out with a new image and a completely different way of doing things; they will still be a cellar corps. It's going to take quite a bit for people to trust and take that organization seriously. I still believe that corps is too far gone to salvage.

Lol Some optimism would be nice, but on the other hand, the corps recent history has not been of a corps showing signs of growth. The incidents that have taken place this past season alone might be enough to supports 8294's last comment. Maybe at least one year of no competition will help the corps to turn things around.
