    Forum Steering Committee - Volunteers Needed

    in The Lounge

    Posted · Edited by honcho

    My experience tells me not-for profit endeavors overseen and operated by a loose-knit committee just don't seem to work well. I've always thought that rule by a benevolent dictator has the best chance of success....decisions made quickly, easily, usually responsibly....just sayin'....

     

    This is just not true. I have friends who are members of the board of directors at not-for-profit organizations with years in operation and growing every year, and there is not 1 single person making all the decisions. I think the expression 'benevolent dictator' is an oxymoron. If anyone would like to look at examples of outcomes under a dictatorship they should be looking at the current situation in Cuba or North Korea.

     

    I am a member of the board of directors [10 directors] of a community orchestra that has been going on for 53 years. I ran for board of another community musical group recently making known my disagreement with their policies and was not elected, but in no way could I say that either is a dictatorship and both seem to be pretty efficient in achieving their missions. So I heartily agree with lonely_john.
