5.1 Governance Structure of ACOP

[Jenn]

Hesitation of change could stem from the desire to trust the wisdom of the past. We want to learn from those before us, and perhaps there is a really good reason it is the way it is. I’ve been taught that whenever we want to change an organization, we should take the time to learn the story of WHY behind those original decisions. Then, we can keep the wisdom however we move forward.

@Jenn this comment reminds me of a quote from G. K. Chesterton: “If a fence exists, there is likely a reason for it. It may be an illogical or inconsequential reason, but it is a reason nonetheless.”
