Sigh, I read the article which Magicgenie posted. Yes, a Very similar problem happened with our local 'club'; the old president set up our first 'website', and when she could not get a group of new officers to do what she wanted, she refused to turn over the website for the new president to use! The poor new 2nd president (who was our first 'newly elected president' in 6 years) had been 'fully endorsed' by this old president. However, when all the new officers did not agree with the old president at board meetings, she acted as if everyone was "turning against traditional ideas". Finally, the top state organization had to step in and tell our 1st president that her old website HAD to be closed. The new officers had given up and had written to State Office asking permission to begin a 'new website', just so they could conduct business! Now, the club is rolling along just fine, but the old president stopped coming to the meetings. It was a rough first year for the 2nd president to go through, but with the support of other officers, things are going smoothly now. It seems like some people who start organizations just cannot step down and let others take over. Hope things will finally be reorganized smoothly for the future YTCA.-- Yipyap |
