[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a board chair, just know that I’d be pissed to hear this late in the game. We have multi-year plans for chairs and officers and if one person bails after rosters are set, then it’s a scramble to adjust current plans as well as succession plans. We have this happen every couple of years and everyone is always polite about it, but behind closed doors there’s a lot of resentment of people who commit and then back out. [b]Usually there is plenty of time for discernment and making your decision so there’s no good reason to back out once you’re committed[/b] short of a spouse’s death or a move. Just explaining how it feels from the other side so that you understand whatever hard feelings your decision prompts.[/quote] I would beg to differ. Most of the asks I have gotten did not leave a lot of time for discernment AND the time commitments were not entirely accurate. [/quote]
