After receiving a couple of phone calls I decided to explain my statement and belief on change or die.
All organizations, businesses, associations, etc. must alway be looking forward to the future lest the future pass you by and you are history. A modern day example is Blockbuster. Once a Very profitable corporation, it failed to see the future and the business, and all of its franchises died on the vine. So if you fail to anticipate the future and all the changes and challenges you will face, your organization will become extinct, it will die.
Look around you, at your town, neighborhood, your school, how many changes do you see.
Towns built on one industry die if that industry moves or closes and there is no “Plan B”. How many towns died when the bypasses opened up. How many small town businesses died when Walmart moved in.
In my opinion the UIL, because of its unique monopoly and influence on how public schools spend public funds and the threats, implied or otherwise that keep these member schools (public schools) in line is one lawsuit away from dramatic change. Granted, certain facts and circumstances will need to be present, but like the future, it will come. Change is inevitable, if you don’t change, you will be passed by. Once that happens, in my opinion as an organization, company, governing body or individual you are obsolete, insignificant, out of business, in short, it’s over Bubba.
The power to change the UIL is in the Collective Hands of the people on this web site. So as J J Watt says,
“Stop making excuses and start making things happen”.
Just my opinion..........
