We’ve now sent two people to the Institute who, rather than gain knowledge, inspiration and skills, came back disillusioned about governance; credentialed a delegate to the national meeting (and given financial support to him for travel) who has been dismissed from his university and will thus not continue as a strong member of the organization; and had a person elected to national leadership who then resigned.
These things happened because our manner of outreach has meant those were the volunteers we had. We need another mode of outreach, and a different crowd.
Axé.
