Basically I think the writer of the article is expecting too much change too quickly. GLOs much like any organization are much slower in their rate of change (of membership diversity) compared to the community that they are in... mostly because it takes time for the members to become comfortable with the change, and also because it takes time for the changing community to become comfortable with the GLOs. I have seen this article format applied to many organizations in my time: the military, the police, the government, local politics, businesses, school faculty, news media, etc. Change takes time, but change does happen.... by simply looking at the composite photos on display around the chapter it is easy to see a slow change in the make-up of the membership, but that change is always there.... mostly because if you don't adapt you die.
