The letter was quite transparent. The New England State governments have set quite stringent precautions (rightfully so) that protect us all. There are other states that are not doing the right thing and so anything goes. In the moment that may seem like a lucky thing for them because they can hold large events but that comes at a public health risk. Have to say I am glad that we live where we live. And my dancer is also relieved because the science says an inside O is just not appropriate right now.

I can't think of any other sport or activity where vital information is only provided to instructors. Especially during COVID there should be newsletters, bulletins, social media pages, and websites actively updated with information available to everyone.

Thank God our TC is so good at sharing all information with us because there is no other way to receive information.

Another concern is that regional and global board members are invisible. I know they are working hard behind the scenes, but it doesn't help the fact that it seems every decision is shrouded in mystery and confusion. The fact that there is absolutely no form of direct contact between dance families and board members is not good or normal. I know many board members are earnestly working for the benefit of all, but the fact that we are powerless to weigh-in, powerless to know how decisions are made, and even powerless to know what the decisions actually are is unacceptable.

The fact that these Voy message boards are filled with parents desperate for truthful information indicates just how much our regional, national, and global boards are failing us. I don't know if it's the age of the board members and their inability to communicate effectively or if there truly is an effort to keep families in the dark as much as possible and just string them along...

[> [> [> Subject: Ummm. Actually no. The AP wrote clearly and dispassionately about the lack of communication from CLRG, IDTANA and NEIDT. You, on the other hand, whined that the NERO board was trying to find ways to cancel Os. Huge difference
