The board does not seem to be bringing stakeholders - breeders and racers - along with it. It is leaving them behind and not negotiating with them. It seems to be aloof in its decisions. The IGB cannot run a good business unless it brings those on whom it depends along with it. The IGB has lost the confidence of breeders and racers in the greyhound industry. That is my personal opinion based on what I have heard in the weeks since we last had the IGB appear before us.
