Ever Served With Others On A Board?

I am a pretty easy person to get along with. I began serving on a board to help out. It has become a negative experience. Infighting, personality conflicts, politics, has developed and it disgusts me. Board members have resigned, there have been power grabs. I will be done at the end of May. I think i will not seek to stay on.

Yep was school governor for many years. Many seemed to forget we were there to help the school not hinder it.

I've been involved in charity stuff too. That can suddenly implode over something and become factions against each other. I've always tried to rise above that and try to see across the divides. But not easy.
