This seems to be Minnesota's biggest problem. They're actively holding back districts by not training new key volunteers. There seems to be a major power struggle by MN FIRST and the volunteers that want to help. That document posted above basically proves that. I'm sure there are more volunteers that would want to help, but they are getting actively denied. It seems like CA has the same issue too, which is bad because MN and CA are the 2 regions that NEED to move to districts ASAP. Hearing stories from these areas that the Regional Committees are trying to implement gag orders on CD about those areas does not help either.
