Well, she does sound like a bit of a killjoy, but chances are, she's not doing this to deliberately work against you. Rather, she is likely a nervous (even frightened) person who fusses over details because she's afraid something will go wrong. The desire to have even more meetings also speaks to that. Likely the best approach is to give her specific jobs and committee oversight responsibilities that are very detailed oriented. In other words, play to her strengths. If she's very busy with that stuff, she'll have less time for the less detail-oriented stuff. Ultimately, it would be great if you could balance each other out.

Its amazing to me the number of hours that volunteers will put in, but when the "hard" questions are asked, Presidents & other board members seem to take it as a personal attack. It's business, simple as that. Sometimes those that question the financial or legal side of the business (PTO), actually may be business owners themselves & are quite knowledgeable in these areas. It's a shame that those that don't understand, taxes, insurance, non-profit laws, IRS, audits and roberts rules if order seem to label the "trouble-makers" or the ones that as you mention, "Sucking all of the fun out of the PTO!"

No..I did not. I believe that some people have "control issues".I feel that this stems from.a number of insecurity problems that are deep within a person personality. There are techniques that can be used that have proven to be successful in helping such people refocus thier energies and enable them to get along in.a professionL.manner without creating conflict. There is much research on this topic and you may find it useful. The person with controlling or competetive personlity does not "feel or believe" that they are in error, like we view them. So we must change our responses and behavior towards them.
