This should be a top priority!! People in power will have to try harder to get along and maybe bend a little at times instead of holding there ground for what some others cencieve to be an unpopular position. Its so Counter productive and downright hurtfull to an org when guys start resigning over a difference of agreements. There should be more mediation where needs be to keep these "Star" type guys and gals from just saying they resign. I understand these are all most volunteering positions and I'm sure a majority of the people would love to see these people having a paid position but since this org is nowhere near that point yet, other options and choices should be made without ones taking the easier road which is to leave your position in haste. I've seen a quite of bit of that in my past org life and it almost always hurt the org this happened to.
So just a small peice of advice from an ex exec. Board Member who did finish his term but barely---Try to be more understanding and also try a better democratic approach with some problem solving. Take a step back to chill when you feel you may overeact to whats being discuss at the immediate moment.
Give the UAMCC people and its members the very best of what you have to offer since you guys so far are the chosen ones. If at all fails and You do resign as always you will be mostly missed and the UAMCC itself will also take a small hit because it will lose good guys and gals along the way and that is very counter productive at most times. One more thing if there was an agreement in place than those agreements should be honored and then go from there on what you want to possibly do with those agreements that you don't like. There has to be steps to go thru and one of them is not to resign because they say a "Winner never quits and a Quitter never wins" so try at all cost to rectify or at least compromised at whatever your disagreement is because the "Commoner" member hates to see some stars go. Just think about this and no this is not directed at any one person. Its just an experience that I went thru in the past and that org. lost probably at least 80% of its members because others would not listen or compromised and this is a deadly combo.
