OK. We disagree.
Chico:
1. I [read emphasis] do not expect to change the results. Except when I'm in the middle with a whistle, I'm on the sidelines now.
The folks who are in the new club will have the challenge of making the girls programs stronger. I believe they are dedicated to accompishing this goal. I'm as curious as you are as to HOW they accomplish this.
2. Your view of the board is correct--they set policy and the directors make the day-to-day decisions.
However, my assumption is that the board will hire the directors. As a result, they may not CONTROL how things work, but they certainly INFLUENCE how things work.
If, as a board member, you have an interest in a stronger Midstate girls program AND you have influence, stands to reason that the directors will pay attention to the girls side of things.
