No, we were never under pressure to become a top group. We were just trying to stay open and relatively competitive. There were a lot of factors that contributed to our closing, many of which I truly believe were completely out of our control.

When I look back, I honestly don't think we could have done anything differently that would have changed the outcome. The fact that three more groups folded after us just reinforces that there were a lot of factors at play that went beyond our particular chapter.
