Simply put, for the sake of your organization, you need to gently usher them out the door. This may be done through term limits on the committee, through "promoting" them out of the committee by giving them some other "important" role that doesn't require interacting with your other supporters, etc. Your mission matters... that's why you can't have someone who is draining your energy hanging around and getting in the way! Joe Great question Dawn!

Your mission matters… that’s why you can’t have someone who is draining your energy hanging around and getting in the way!

Very helpful for me. My question is if mission + energy = Raising more $$, what do you do if your planning board or Network circle has one or two members that suck the energy out of the room? They are so negative, people do not show up to planning meetings and these members only seem involved for their own ego. Their negative energy and self focused mission seem to = equal brain drain on staff and volunteers and little money raised. So how does one get rid of a volunteer planning member that does not help bring anything to the table? LOVE your newsletter! Very helpful for me.
