Because I also agree that institutional knowledge is important, but its also time to get in there and grow the entity. There's so many things DCI can offer but yet I am not ssure why they don't, so let someone take care of the corps and their director and the CLevel suite of DCI grow the business -- thats in my honest opinion .... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crowncares1995 Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 DCI needs an outsider not connected to drum corps in any way. I am sure the next person(s) picked will do very well for DCI. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been enough orgs, poorly managed fiscally. There have been enough abuse instances without any remedies or repercussions to clean it up and ensure safety for members and support for reporters. Growing the activity will happen if these other items are properly addressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
