Gen X Volunteers: Handle With Care
By Georgene Waterman
Question
I am the executive director of an association located in Sacramento. In the past few years our membership has remained stable, but this year we have seen a rapid decline.
We have a volunteer board of directors. The bylaws require two successive terms but don't have any provisions for how many terms you can serve.
