I'm down to my final 2 1/2 months in my first year as PTO President and I don't think I've done a very good job! We - the exec. board - have been successful with what we've acheived so far, but in terms of my success in running the board, this has not been a cohesive group and my leadership must be at fault. I've been a member of the board for four years and this is the first year I haven't enjoyed it. At the beginning of the school year, I wrote to the discussion board about my VP who didn't do anything. That situation basically stayed the same and I continued to do my job and hers. Another board member has a drinking problem - she showed up at a meeting drunk! I just recently found out our secretary is unhappy handling the correspondence and her resentment toward the VP not doing anything has become so petty that I can't count on her to help take up the slack. The commmittment from this board is almost non existent. They've spent most of the year focusing on what their position descriptions say and not doing anymore than necessary. I had to rewrite the position descriptions to make them clearly defined, yet also understood that they are just guidelines, as members of the board, they will be asked to do things not described in their position descriptions. Oh, and that's the other thing....nobody ever volunteers to do anything!! In the past, the President didn't have to tell people to do things, because somebody always volunteered. Not this board. I have to recognize I played a part in why this board never came together as a team. I am very committed and passionate about being on the PTO and helping the school. The idea of stepping down after only one year is painful, but this year has been painful. I don't know what to do?? Any suggestions?
