thomaspietras: As always, thanks tremendously for the response.
1. I acknowledge that my grammatical structure was less accurate that it could have been; I should have stated "If nothing changes, how can we expect to see changes from these results?" Nevertheless, it sounds like both of us are eager to understand how this occurs. The first step, however, might be the recognition (not by you...but by the club(s) themselves) that there's been a problem in the past. So far, it seems like everyone believes everything has been hunky dory in the past with respect to the girls side.
2. I do understand and agree with the differentiation between control and influence that you assert. What I've found in my experience is that the ultimate influence I have as either a manager or a board member is with respect to whom I hire and the structure of the organization itself. I think that's what a lot of folks are looking at and making judgements on. The simple fact that specific board members have children that play in certain genders (or age brackets, or levels of competition, etc.) isn't really a great guideline for me in terms of making judgements with respect to the potential efficacy of the club.
