Awesome. Great chart. Did you ever get follow-up on those questions from July about who’s in charge of what aspects of the program?

I was unable to get a real answer about the reorganization. The party line, we are switching to a functions based organization, rather than a program based organization.
Which in many ways sounds like a good idea. We will see how it plays out. It should help the organization as a whole, and hopefully develop a better relationship between Cubs-Boys-Venturing. Not that its bad now, however I don’t think we work together as well as we should / could.
