Dear Board,
I am sorry to send this out to you, but I am unsure how to deal
definitively with this problem.
At our last Board meeting, Kathy Cresto volunteered for and was made the
new Membership Chairperson. I was grateful to Kathy for taking over the
postion when Marie resigned, and Kathy leapt into it as she does, putting
together descriptions of her job and the Ambassador positions. The next
day I received another email from Marie saying that she had reconsidered
and would like to have the job back. I explained that Kathy had taken it
over and suggested she speak with her but that I had no issues with that
happening. During the call, I mentioned that we did not have a Secretary
and Marie said she would rather serve in that capacity and she is now
running for the Board in the hopes of taking over the Secretary role. All
good so far.
Then the chaos started, and it has been chaos. Gloria Rommel, one of the
two Ambassadors, has taken great offense to (1) Kathy being named
Membership Chair, and (2) to some of the changes that Kathy is making to
the Ambassador position, mainly that instead of Gloria being “Head”
Ambassador and doling out the assignments to new members, Kathy would
randomly alternate between the 2 Ambassadors. She emailed me and I told
her I had spoken at length with Kathy and had agreed to let her try out her
new plan. Gloria has been abusive, argumentative, sending me more than one
lengthy email about why this should not happen, even when I told her to
respectfully let it go and try it this way. She will not let it go. I
finally told her that I was done and not to email me or contact me in any
way. She has now contacted Sherry to get her on her side, as if this were
a war instead of the minor issue that it is. And now Gloria is running for
the Board.
I am quite unwilling to serve on a Board with someone who is unable to
compromise on anything or to let something go, and who has personal
vendettas against anyone, and who is a very difficult person. This should
not be stressful and there should not be this much animosity on our Board.
It is creating a terrible environment for Kathy and for me.
I thought you all should know this directly from me.
Thanks for listening. I don’t need you to do anything but have my back.
Lisa
