[> Subject: It was a huge financial burden to take on between literally one couple who saw the potential in this organization -- mind you ALL out of pocket during a pandemic. I would like to see you try and do that. It was impressive what they pulled off. It was full of heart and faith. They truly wanted to make it happen here in OR for young women and they did.

[> Subject: It will continue to grow and yes -- they were SMART to pass it off to another director rather than be selfish and hold onto it, leading it to destruction. Why don't you stop and think and not be so damn critical?

[> Subject: They were also one of the very first states to pick it up! They were the second to launch a spokesperson. They had a great initial team and did phenomenal with very little support, constant adjustments and changes (National Board was still even developing it all) and they held a great inaugural pageant to launch the program.

[> Subject: WA launched after OR was holding their competition. Do you not think that they asked for advice and learned from what OR did? We all have to start somewhere :) Let's be supportive and hopeful. These boards don't have to be so nasty.

[> Subject: Is there something wrong with shedding light on the truth? They have the right to defend and take pride in the program.
