Hello List serve,

 

An ex-board member contacted me very upset that s/he had not been
re-nominated to the board after a two year hiatus, during which s/he still
attended board meetings and played a  fairly active, though often
contentious volunteer role. This board member rightly indicated that s/he
didn't want me to solve the problem, just that they felt volunteers needed
to be shown more appreciation. It's something I agree with wholeheartedly,
though the tactic is a bit passive-aggressive. Not long after this note,
another board member has e-mailed me and the president indicating that they
would be willing to vacate their seat to keep the peace. 

 

I hope to be able to keep my distance, only offering soothing words where
necessary. I already have enough to do keeping day to day business going.
Advice from those who've successfully negotiated these shark-infested waters
in the past would be greatly appreciated.
