And here we go

So, that's an interesting coincidence. That Robin is serving as president of her condo board, and I am about 6 weeks away from being installed as PTA president. Hmmm.

Anyway, I am already dealing with my first challenge. There is a mom who has volunteered to chair the big fundraiser, and she is the ONLY person who has expressed interest in this position. So, what's the problem, right? Well, let's just say she hasn't been the easiest person to work with in the past. She actually told me that she likes to work alone and doesn't like to ask permission for things that she wants to do, and she has no interest in participating in board meetings, which IS a requirement of the position.

So, we are having discussions. I am trying to see if I can get some commitments from her that she is willing to operate under the guidelines and policies that EVERYONE else is bound by. I really don't want to tell her "No thanks. I'll find someone else." 1. There is no one else. 2. I don't think that's good "politics."

Oy! What have I gotten myself into.
