Una,

Your correspondent implied the head director can dismantle the present
organization - therefore a fresh start highly likely best course, second
they have probably got a bunch of entrenched ole boys who have a system for
keeping the power! It sounds way too familiar ....

I second Ian's advice to read the unit's legal documents.
Namely, its articles of incorporation and/or current bylaws.
If the unit is a properly formed non-profit corporation, both of these
documents must exist. If the board will not provide copies, then you can
get copies from the state agency (assuming your unit is in the US) that
regulates non-profit corporations.

Re Ian's advice to leave and start a new unit, I would argue the opposite.
As described, the unit does not sound highly disfunctional. Perhaps it
would be enough to campaign to change the makeup of the board in the next
round of elections?
On the other hand, the current board may reflect the general will of the
unit. In which case, moving to another unit or starting a new unit may be
better choices.

I certainly do not recommend being a member simultaneously of more than one
unit. Doing so, you guarantee conflicts of interest (eg, in scheduling of
team training dates) and divided loyalties.

Una
