Question of the Week

August 27-September 3, 2024
I work for a chamber of commerce.  Our whole board is useless.  They do nothing to help us but want to hire people to work here who know nothing about the job or the town.   They constantly say they don't have time and hate being a board member.  The executive director and I are wondering if is there a way to get them to sign a paper and leave and have no more board here?  The director and I would really love to just focus on what needs to get done and take care of our small town. The board hinders it all. Answer
