Tom,

WBCCI rules make it very hard to effect change in a unit because of the time it takes to cycle existing leadership out. If however the existing leaders voluntarily step down then all the positions could be filled with new people effectively passing the unit to a new generation. If the senior members would stay active and act in an advisory role the new leadership team could build on their experiences to revitalize the unit. The best units have people of all ages in them.

I know our unit is tired. The senior members have been cycled through the officer positions so many times that they are loosing interest. Maybe they would be willing to let someone else take the reins and set back and enjoy a rally without being asked to do something.

Would you be interested in trying to save the unit? How many new members do you think it would take? I know of three maybe four units that could help. - Terry
