I think we can get so caught up that board members make us crazy. People have different reasons for serving on boards. If you can get some insight on that, it can color how you deal with Board members and make your life easier.

I appreciate your comments. You're absolutely right, working with board members can certainly be one of the more challenging tasks of a non-profit manager. There were many times when I lost sleep, got upset, and grumbled about board behavior. I would always try, however, to remember why I was with that organization in the first place and "re-discover" my own passion. Since I worked primarily at a children's summer camp and an elementary school, I often would go hang out with the kindergartners for a little bit ont heir recess. Compared to some board members, the kindergarten was actually a step up! Thanks, Lisa! I appreciate your comments.
