Reporting a Board of Directors
Recently, our board terminated our Executive Director without any staff knowing the plan. This goes against a lot of staff wishes, as our director was well-liked and had been doing a lot for the organization.
Our board has consistently been a problem. We had board members who were also active volunteers who would verbally harass staff and would forget that there was a power imbalance in the positions and make staff jobs harder by going against staff recommendations. They regularly have refused to approve things that would actually help staff and have caused a lot of issues with process improvements and huge projects that are very needed. And more.
I feel as though the board is acting contrary to what is best for the organization and staff. Is there some way to report them to some authority or demand some an external review without harming the organization as a whole? It's ridiculous that they can seemingly do whatever they want contrary to what staff wants.
