We have a member who is a good worker, and a good people person whose attitude is tearing down the group.
This individual sees DFA as a mutual support a mutual support group, as opposed to an advocacy organization.
They find any organization, committee structures, voting, etc. to be an anathema.
It's already resulted in an ugly scene where a meeting (and a well attended one at that) was completely disrupted, and the meetup host left the organization in disgust.
It was the second host to leave the group in 3 months, so I think that there is a real problem.
I think that's why we have done nothing on slots, arguably the biggest political fight of the legislative session.
They support slots, and almost everyone else opposes them, so it just doesn't get brought up, because it doesn't match the utopian vision that they profess.
I'm not much of an ideologue. I'm process oriented, which might make this more irritating.
That being said, there ARE going to be tough choices, like candidate endorsements, in the next few months, so I don't think that I'm being unrealistic.
Any suggestions about how to handle this?
