What a day. For the last two hours I've once again been dealing with this alumni association thing - we got our first no vote (we already have a majority), this from a guy who's on "official leave" from the board. He wrote a long e-mail basically saying he wanted seven members of the current board to be able to convene at the end of a year and, in essence, decide if I've done a good job - in other words, those people, several of whom have definite agendas, can allow me to turn this thing around, make it successful, and then arbitrarily say goodbye. Uh... no.
So, tonight, I think we either have to say we have a majority vote and that's that (what I didn't want to happen is what two or three people are trying to make happen - a lot of palaver - vote yes, vote no - no palaver necessary), or, one of two things will happen - I will withdraw my offer, or I will start a new organization immediately and their group can continue doing what they're doing.
