Santa Clara has a minimum wage of $17.20, $2+ more than other areas in Ca. I think a rrelocation is the 1st step in the organizations return to competition!

Before we start blaming CA for SCV's problems, why are the other CA corps able to make it? For one Concord, Ca. is a $15 state minimum wage area while Santa Clara has a higher local minimum wage of $17.20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sutasaurus Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 (edited) I don’t think moving the corps out of state will fix the board issues. The fact there are other Californian WC corps who are, let’s say, “getting by” says the opportunity exists for the Vanguard to rebuild in it’s home but it will take a complete overhaul of their BOD to make that happen. Would it make sense for the organization to make an outreach to some of their bigger donors? Many are successful business people. The CEO doesn’t really need to know all about drum corps….just how to run a successful not for profit. Just throwin’ the idea out there.

Responsible management, fiscally and organizationally has much more to do with fixing their problems than anything else at this point. Reset the org first. Reduce payroll, minimize spending and expenses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The structure of the BOD needs a reset/revamp. Not just a one for one overhaul. The BOD may need their own independent mission statement of supporting the corps. Like “ We promise to take care of all the kids by being wise in spending their money and taking care of their health physically, mentally and emotionally”. “And we’ll do it by not relying only on Bingo”! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
