I am another from Summit who has no recollection about the discussion at State of the Nation about the changing of the Beacon to another Name at all. LET alone PINK LADY ... I will go and check out my notes and photos of the time and confirm it,but it is anything but inclusive.....

HOW TO EMBRACE CHANGE THAT’S SUDDENLY FORCED UPON YOU by Adam Sicinski
“Unexpected
change can at times transform your life (organisation) in dramatic ways. This
change may require that you form some new habits and routines while letting go
of old habits and patterns of behaviour that may no longer serve you. At the
same time, it’s important to always stay open to the possibilities and the
opportunities that may exist as a result of this change.”
How could these changes be beneficial?
A change to BCNA that will be beneficial would be the inclusion of Males in the Logo; a pink lady excludes Men point blank.
What possible opportunities might they unleash?
By changing the logo we open the organisation up to the whole population not just the females
What’s the bigger picture?
We need to embrace everyone, so that we can move forward into the future ready to attract and engage everyone within the community of Australia. BCNA an organisation supporting and advocating for anyone affected by breast cancer
What am I not seeing about this change that could be advantageous long-term?
How can I continue adapting in the future to ensure that this is a positive change?
Just some questions from the above blog that raises questions, that we as a community (BCNA online Forum) want answered.
I grabbed a silhouette online and played with it in paint to make this picture just a thought about what we could do that is inclusive of all
That took my brain not that long to come up with ... .... COME on BCNA we know you can think outside the box.
A PINK Lady 20 years ago cut it, but today we know that it is both Male and Females who are affected by Breast Cancer.
I am sorry but I for want don't want PINK Lady as the new name for the Beacon and I sadly think that if that is BCNA's answer to a name change you have missed the plot...
I want a logo and Magazine that will embrace our community of Breast Cancer Warriors both male and female going forward into our future...
I want to be proud to be An Australian who includes our men in this ....
