There are six Board members(we know an uneven number is desired but lack of community involvement is a problem)
I have in the past year been asked if I would be active on our Board. I was approached by four members who said they are having difficulties with the treasurer in particular.. I said yes. I might have gotten in to a nest of fire ants...
This is my observation. As I am the newest member, I do not wish to push, but am at a loss as to figure a solution.
There are four women, two men. There has been trouble with one member only, the treasurer, a female. When she took post, she said she would do financial only-did not want to be involved with anything else. The pres explained that she would be involved in several aspects by just being in a member position.. She has refused to respond to emails. She does not respond to phone calls. When asked if she will get financial info ready for our monthly meetings, her response was "the bills are online-let them add/subtract the numbers themselves". She has been a member for 1 1/2 years and the other members say she still has not walked the grounds as the rest do as a group every other month. She is rude in emails. She does not come up with scenarios of ways we can transfer/(whatever may apply) , so that we can do better in our financing. At monthly meetings she will get up to leave even if the meeting is not over,"I will stay until 7pm but not a minute longer-I don't have all night". (Meeting starts at 5pm). The list goes on and on.
I was asked if I could encourage her to be more receptive, not so rude, be more open to participating as a group member.
After being around her I have tried gently to have her be more involved, be nicer to people-IT IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!,
We would love to ask her to resign, but there is not one single owner who will be willing to step in. NADA. ZIP.
We do not know what to do.
Thank you.
