Sometimes there is a suggestion of change for the mere sake of change. I am in favor of growth, but it is absurd to think we can suddenly, after 40 years of existence, expect to have 1000 members. #1 I agree with entirely. We need to grow into new territories. That has started to happen, and will continue, I feel with the recent changes. #2 I think is a slight on the Promoters who have sanctioned national championships in the past. I have lifted in some pretty cool venues in the few nationals that I have competed in. #3-really? The logo? #4 is merely a segway into a crusade for knee sleeves. We could also say that we could benefit by adding sponsors by adding super suits or pharmaceuticals. #5 sure. Embrace change. But only as it makes sense by staying true to our roots. We could be huge if we went to a push/pull/squat format that embraces more equipment and steroids, but is that who we are?
