I served on the non profit board of my local arts centre. Worst decision of my life. 7 years troubleshooting impossible HR problems. At one point I had to take a two weeks off work to carry out disciplinary proceedings against someone who had been a family friend. Constant childish complaints from employees who refused to communicate with each other and expected the unpaid board members to resolve thier stupid problems. The whole thing was a basic income program for dysfunctional people, it didn’t produce much in the way of art. I strongly urge anyone considering joining something like this to make sure they understand how badly it can go wrong.
