I probably wasn't clear enough in my earlier post (I tend to tip-toe around Chapindad these days.) Perhaps I'm confused about how a board works. I thought that a board was responsible not for day-to-day operations but instead selected one or more leaders (e.g., executive directors, CEO's, DOC's, etc.) who were operationally responsible. The selection of the leaders was the single most important function because it was through that selection that the values of the corporate entity would be implemented. Now...I understand that a board has an oversight responsibility...but the message that the selection of the leader sent in a new entity was the most powerful initial message that could be sent.
Does the board of the new corporate entity operate in some other fashion? In other words, is the board actually involved in day-to-day operations and thus it's really important which board member has what child playing on what team? Is that the way it worked at the constituent clubs?
