Board Lesson No. 2 - Do It Today, Do Not Wait Until a Crisis Time

Here is my second lesson in the series. Boards, practice proactive tactics when something comes up that tells you trouble may be broiling. Scuttlebut or rumor mills are not good for much other than an indication that BAD OR MIS-INFORMATION may be being passed around and CONJUECTURE may be at work. Bearing witness to or receiving a complaint of malfeasance that has longer reaching implications should not be ignored. And, the worst thing that can happen is to be surprised beyond repair at a members' meeting, a board meeting, a committee meeting or an election with problems that cannot be resolved at that meeting, but might have been beforehand had the Board sought the right kind of help or paid more attention.

In other words, do some investigation and attempt to figure out if the problem needs to be addressed before it festers, if any "damage control" needs to be done, and if there is a way to diffuse the bomb before it goes off.
