Want to go to the board? The answer is almost always "Don't!"
This subreddit is overrun with posts asking whether to go to the board of directors about a problematic executive director. The answer to that question is almost always "no."
Unless something illegal or truly unethical is going on, don't do it. Boards don't like to admit they made a mistake when hiring an executive director. Boards often have the same attitudes as the EDs they hire. It's easy for you to be dismissed as a disgruntled employee and word will get around, which will hurt your career.
You need to focus on getting out of the situation and leaving that organization in your rear view mirror.
