trocheeargh. there's a board committee meeting for the TV studio (I'm on the board) at 6p that's regularly scheduled for this time every month.
But the chair for this meeting never sends out announcements. So the meetings never happen -- or when they do, he says 'nobody shows up'.
So I poked the executive director of the agency and asked her by email this morning -- "Is there a meeting today?"
Then -- at 4 -- I get a handwaving "I think there's a meeting because it's scheduled, but nobody's said anything" kind of email from the ED.
See, the thing is, it takes me a full hour to get to the station. It's now 5p. I'm supposed to go by bus for an hour *right now* and *if I'm lucky* there will be one or two other people there.
And you know what? I'm going to do it. But I'm going to rack up the martyr points for showing up for this one.
*grumble*

Or get off the Board! You are a volunteer. You deserve respect and communication from the ED! Not to mention from the chair. Maybe the ED needs to take over the task of sending out the reminders?

They don't know how lucky they are to have your time and energy.
