    You poor bastard. As a fellow poor bastard serving on a board, remember, its a not for profit, you are trying to do good, and choking everyone in the room would be bad PR.

So far I haven't wanted to choke anyone. A very interesting question was raised at the first meeting I attended after volunteering at their big event on New Years Eve. In a nonprofit there are types of organizations, would we rather be an efficient organization, or a community driven organization? How much of one are we willing to sacrifice for the benefit of the other.
